Quickie engine stand?

[mhorowit]

I'm looking for suggestions for a quickie engine stand.
Fastest is probably one that holds the engine verticle, flange down.
doesn't need to be waist high.
Wood is probably my best bet.
Suggestions? - Mike

Re: Quickie engine stand?

I made mine outta a 34 ford truck rim with a piece of 4 inch water pipe
welded to the rim via a flange i cut out with a torch.
I cut out a matching flange for the crank end.

Looks ugly...works good

Truck rim is good. or dig a hole in the floor insert 6x6 and put plate on top or if taper shaft merely bore a tapered hole..... make her high enough to be comfortable. Get fancy and put a round table top dow from the flange plate. Maybe a coffee or tea cup holder too!
