Engine start stand plans III

The 3rd video on building my engine start stand.from scratch.

[@johnmanev4681]

I want to build one but i don't have a engine block to use as a dummy. I have been searching on the net for dimensions but only showed complete stand. Great job allways good to try something new. 👍

Anthony, My name is Al, You are doing what many guys would love to do.... Taking the time and effort to do this on your own with some limited equipment compared to some shops. You are thinking this out. You are learning as you go. You should be Very proud.. I do build these things and fully understand what you are doing.... Keep up the goo work and effort. Al @ Easy-Run

[@lawncuttingplusdelta]

Amen .... Ditto, u said it all , this guys idea to make adjustable and adequate for real world size metal was bang on .... Well explained and has motivated me.....

[@WeekendPursuitOutdoors]

Glad you liked it Paul.....This stand has worked out awesome! One thing I recommend is mounting your radiator on a quick release system or put one side on a hinge so you can easily remove it or swing it out of the way for cam swaps!

Thanks a lot for the answer! Nice project, I'm building a stand like that right now... not exactly like that but similar...!

[@WeekendPursuitOutdoors]

I originally ordered it thru J.C. whitney but they no longer carry them. As far as the box, I got that when I was in the Marines (Might try a surplus store)! Summit racing has a 165 piece SAE kit #SUM-CSUM2007. Also if you get on Ebay and type in Grade 8 SAE bolt youll see all kinds of kits from rivercityindustrialsupply, which is who I will be ordering from soon! Im almost done fabricating the stand and ready for paint! Video to follow in a few days!..... Thanks!

I would put your adjustment bolts pointing up or in. That way I don't rip your ankles off. Would not feel too good

[@WeekendPursuitOutdoors]

I live in Kansas! I gott the Iowa shirt from a friend!

[@brookkeenon]

Also a shroud for the flex plate would be nice.

Maybe I'm just a cocky prick but when I'm done I know that s*** this is why I installed an three times in one day and it won't happen again

[@headshotel1te753]

Do u have a parts list an specs of the stand build?! I'm wanting to build my own cuz buying one is sorta expensive.

[@azbertx]

cant wait to see it work, good job! from where did you ordered the bolt on your bench?

[@OldSkoolF]

Dude... F'n A ... Nice stand.... Follows the "KISS" rule. If you don't mind I'm gonna copy it!

[@stevewonderlin1870]

are you from iowa, because i saw your tshirt in the running of the video of it completed

[@kdog7005]

What size tubing are you using ?

[@WeekendPursuitOutdoors]

I used 1.5" x 1.5" x 1/8" for the main frame then used 2"x2"x3/16" for the parts that slide.
