The latest addition to armoury is an engine/gearbox stand with the Model B Gearbox swap in mind
SGS do a nice stand at a very reasonable price so duly ordered, you can see here
Bit limited for storage so this is a nice size, fingers crossed it’ll fit in the available storage.
Will post further once unpacked and assembly is underway!
Keep in mind these modern engine stands are made for short [front to rear] engines, including 4 cylinders and V8 or V6 engines. Even older Chevy/GMC straight 6 engines can be too much weight hanging off the stand’s single upright post. That said, never use one of these to hold a straight eight engine, Pontiac, Packard, Buick, or imports like Daimler. They are simply too long and heavy for this type of stand. They are difficult to move around the floor with such long and heavy engines, and the slightest obstacle on the floor [like a stray nut] can cause the entire thing to tip on their side when one caster stops rolling.
Yes, good point
