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






is that ITB's on there? sure is. i might run these just for fun one day. lol. they are all done and ready to bolt on







now i know i am going to get questions about the car with the intercooler in the background so here is a little teaser shot of it. its my 95 M3. there will be a build thread sometime

 

---- yeah, cinder block jack stands.


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

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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

 

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 ----.

 

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.
