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.

Re: Little Engine Stand I Built
 

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.

Re: Little Engine Stand I Built
 

sick scooter in the background.

modify it.

Re: Little Engine Stand I Built
 

thats in the works. its a 110cc 2 stroke. stock makes about 9hp. they dont make a whole lot of parts for it and the ones they do make suck. they manage to get 20hp with shitty mods. i am going to machine the cylinder and head bases to raise the compression up from 6.8:1 to somewhere around 9:1 or maybe even 10:1. i am also working on an exhaust using an expansion chamber program i found. there was a guy that had a one off exhaust made that made insane power. it would wheelie anywhere from a standing stop up to 30mph. only problem was the exhaust made power at 12k rpm and his plastic cooling fan exploded. i might need to look into having a fan made before i go making too much power

Re: Little Engine Stand I Built
 

do you have a way to strap it down in the back of the car so it doesn't move around, or are you just gonna take er easy?

doing a mani/dp on that, i'd put it on a bench top. my back isn't what it used to be.

Re: Little Engine Stand I Built
 

I have ratchet straps to keep it stable

I plan to put it on a bench or something if I use it for mock up. I mostly wanted it for storage and when I put wheels on it, then I will be able to move it around real easy

Re: Little Engine Stand I Built
 

Hate to break it to you nignog, but that's one cam from beinging an LS.... :1

Re: Little Engine Stand I Built
 

why would I build a stand to fit an LS when I want to bring back a D on it?

Re: Little Engine Stand I Built
 

is the ls going on there for the trip down there?

Re: Little Engine Stand I Built
 

No, it's clean and unassembled. It will just sit in the back.

Re: Little Engine Stand I Built
 

We need more pic's!!!

Re: Little Engine Stand I Built
 

I bought a big-ass rubbermaid tote to transport d-series in.
