Little Engine Stand I Built
 

So, the plan is to meet OnlyFlash944 in South Carolina to trade my LS for his D15. i will be in my woman's 08 Fit and i dont want to mess it up so i made this engine stand for the trip. i also have been wanting to make it to store engines on anyway. when i get back from the trip, i will put wheels on it so i can roll it around. its going to get painted tomorrow.

anyway, its nothing special, but i havent posted anything in here in a while so here it is

---- yeah, cinder block jack stands.


now thats mighty ------dly of you.

Re: Little Engine Stand I Built
 

I have real jack stands. The reason I used those was cause I needed it real high and I needed the suspension at ride height. The barge pipes run through the suspension.

you dont gotta lie to kick it.

Re: Little Engine Stand I Built
 

looks good.

make some real tall wheel ramps. we had a boy crushed to death on a toyota forum 3 or so years ago from cinder blocks. brake rotor got him in the abdomin. obviously he had the tires off it but still... you could be fat or something.

Re: Little Engine Stand I Built
 

great! but how do you rotate the engine?
you know when you are building a block have to turn it upside down to put the crank in etc.

Re: Little Engine Stand I Built
 

i am far from fat, but the M3 sits so low stock, i wouldnt have a chance if it fell. i might do something else as a safety now that you say that. it seemed pretty safe to me


its not for building the engine. i bought a stand for that. this is just for storage and transporting. i might use it to make manifolds and downpipes though.

in a couple weeks i am going to make another one for my small block 350. i have no idea what i am going to put that engine in so it will be sitting around a while

Re: Little Engine Stand I Built
 

You should at least stack the block with the cores pointing up and then a piece of wood or steel across the top. On their sides like that they are week as ----.

Re: Little Engine Stand I Built
 

Atleast throw something large under the tires so that if the blocks crack to pieces and it falls it'll land on something. Most people toss a spare wheel under there to catch it.
