Well, looking at the pics, you 'nailed it'! I've got an engine stand the PO made out of angle iron (holds engine w/front engine mount and tranny attached). I plan to beef it up a little, check some of the if'y welds, mount some gauges (oil pres./CHT/EGT) on it, and start and tune the engine right where it sits. I've been trying to figure out a way to modifiy the one I have already to collapse and lift kind of like you did....Actually, if you incorporated some means of solidly mounting the engine/tranny onto your lift (maybe something that bolted on "after" the engine was dropped).........hmmmm, (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) time to whip out Solidworks when I get home. |
