I will gladly take a few of each tonight when i get home (if i get a chance)... I will post them here and can send them to you via email if you like, just PM email address to me.

Thank you very much,
You can post the pictures here or send to cfm65 AT me DOT com which ever is easyer.

Well got back out to the garage for the first time in MONTHS...

made me some transmission guide pins so that i can pull the transmission from the engine.

BearsFan, Good work as usual. I have a couple questions about the process.
1) Did you design the stand yourself, or are there plans somewhere around here? I'm going to need a stand soon.
2) You do an exceptional job photographing and documenting your work, Thank you for the contribution. And for leaving your pictures up.
3) Could I too, have those pictures you took of engine aprons? Mine are crinkled up from a couple ancient accidents when it was a farm car back in Kansas.

Ever considered creating a web page? like Bill's or Binnie's corvette page (http://corvettec3.ca/index.htm)?

Cheers,

Here are some engine stand plans that live on the Stovebolt website. I haven't built one, but it looks good.

Cheers, Dean

I did design and build the engine stand that i use for my 194 6cyl

i did the 3d design work and made up a fab drawing for me to build on from.

i can post up a PDF of the engine stand for the engine, as well as the one that i am using which is the long version to hold the engine and transmission as an assembly

Thanks Dean. I think I can handle that build. I'll still look at BearsFan's and pick.

BearsFan, if possible, please send both. I'll have three to peruse. Better selection, better decision.

Thanks,
Jim

Sorry for the delay, had to print to a PDF from the CAD software.

will separate them by post below

Stand Engine 01 OPT.pdf
...basic engine stand platform

Few of the 3d CAD images with Engine on it

Stand Engine 24 OPT.pdf
...deluxe with transmission support, i built this one but did NOT cut the rear corners, i left it squared off

as you can see in the below pictures

also i secured everything together EXCEPT for the transmission support block, found it easier to screw this in place when i needed it/had transmission bolted up. when only the engine was on the stand did not need it there.

Thank you BearsFan315. Been busy with the yard now back to the cars. Too many hobbies/chores for an old man like me.

try doing all that and working full time... and with spring here, yard work is UP !!
