Really an excellent build, that will allow for flexibility between engines. Classic appearance by Miss Daisy qualifies this video as a "two thumbs up" production!

[@willysrestoration]

LOL! ... Nice Mud Dobber decoration on the side of the engine block next to the Fram oil filter ..... I think I have a few of those also! ...

[@craigbowley6783]

Great job. You always just make things look easy and just simply make sense. Can't wait to see that hold a running engine 👍

[@bhavacakra0lee484]

Excellent video, very clear descriptions.

[@wilsif]

Looks great! Engineer friend said to add more triangles to make structures stronger. Square turn into rhombus real quick. Triangle make square better.

[@ThisNThatGarage]

It's a run stand not a drag race frame, therefore no load just revs.

[@dixiemay1996]

Like watching a Popular Mechanic magazine come to life. Nicely done Chad.

[@tomivy1052]

That sir was the funnest cool video i have seen ,,, thats how i work in my garage lookin fer next video thank s sooooooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@robertbennett9243]

Good job. A universal starting stand. You could probably sell some plans for that. Do you think you had a big enough grinder? I would think a normal 4 or 5" would have done the job. You are right on the china freight blades. Have you thought of putting some bloopers at the end of your video like others do? Keep up the good videos, love them all. Nice to see miss Daisy again.

[@thomasstewart9368]

Nice....hear it run before....it goes in the "whatever" keep up the good work 👍 2023

[@chrisengland907]

On your plate where the bell housing bolts are. You could flip it over and put ford bolt pattern, then you'd have both patterns on one plate. Just a thought. Love your videos and always waiting on the next one. Thanks for the informative and entertaing videos.

[@barnycanuck6234]

Thx for posting. Been thinking on a engine test stand design for awhile but completely forgot about needing to get the engine lift stand under it. Happy New Year.

[@alecsimages1]

Nice job and works well, I would put some round safety pins through your upright posts under the vertical pinch slider, cant be too safe!

[@ThisNThatGarage]

Don't really see any need. Once bolted to the motor they're not going anywhere.

[@kenwood8665]

Enjoyed this video very much. Thank you

[@ianallen2]

A great video and a fantastic build. Well done.

[@genedunn9283]

Very nicely done! Love to see a good initial plan and the ability to adapt as the build goes along. The end result is great! Also, after watching a ton of your videos I just realized your left handed…welcome to the club!

[@redjasper1100]

Great video chad. Love ya bro. God bless👍

[@clydepodvin5026]

That there motor run is fine as frog hair. Great video as always my friend.

[@swanie_6448]

This was a very cool project Chad. Thanks for the added laughs...!! Happy New Year...!! Cheers

[@jerryhurley1068]

Man, i was torn with this 1. I love watching ya work on old junk. Buildin a run stand wasnt a project im interested in, but ya made it something i watched! Good job my man. I'm apparently in for whatever you're doing. Keep up the good work!

[@shorerebel]

Nice work! Always look forward to seeing your new projects. Thank you!

[@johnshaver5693]

I bought one of those little roll a round engine stands got lucky got it on sale for 350.0 I don't have a welder or anything like that, can't wait to fire up one of three motors, one with boom tubes 357 chevy one 306 gt40p heads and pull headers and my bronco 351 gt40 heads and long tube hookers to welcome spring lol..

[@flir67man84]

Nicely done.

[@donnal4304]

Hope everyone is having a great new year so far!? Awesome way to finish up the week by watching your videos!!!!Your the best keep up the amazing work you do!!!!God bless you!!!!!!🙏🤓

[@francisbarbeau1862]

Great Job! I like it!If I ever need one I will Steal(I mean Barrow) this design!

[@ThisNThatGarage]

Have at it!

[@larrybunch8190]

Nice piece of Back yard Engineering! Should work great!

[@jeremyTallen1]

You The Man!

[@rayashabranner3124]

Another good one

[@olavkristiantorgersen6704]

Happy new Year to you.

[@jailbreakgamin1966]

you could probley just slot those motor mount plate holes to fit all kinds of engines with out making different plates for diff. engines ..just a thought .. great vid!!

[@waynecap5960]

We're looking forward to seeing that motor run.👍 thanks for the video.

[@billbly1691]

I enjoy your channel always look forward to your videos

[@WingmanJohnny]

Thanks pops. Me and my brother was just going to build one of those engine stands. And if you don't mind. We are using your idea. Thanks pops keep up the good work

[@waltalbright]

Enjoyed the picture show.

[@Redrocker1970]

I'm jealous. That is so cool.

[@dannybenfield1164]

One cool engine stand I can't wait to see the video with a motor on it run

[@Allegedlyhuman844]

Very nice video as usual we might not agree on everything but you always make me think and keep me honest with myself and I always learn thank you sir PEACE ☮️

[@danieljamespo]

Awesome build

[@jamesmcdonald5868]

Happy New Year Chad! Glad to see your newest display of ingenious entertainment! I still have a few videos to catch up on, but that is what binge watching is for.

[@zimmlock]

A sweet construction Chad, i enjoyed the video a lot, Macgyver is just a rookie compaired to you 😃

[@jangles1839]

Woo hoo!!! Let's get it!!! Best part of my Friday yet again! Today couldn't get here fast enough! 💙🙏🏼👊🏼

[@briansmith9852]

May I suggest fitting a throttle controller it might just make things a little bit easier for you mate 😉

[@ThisNThatGarage]

Nah. I'll just grab the carburoster and twist it.

[@johnd21]

Nice looking run stand

[@Highstranger951]

Hey Chad, get you a 1/4” hex shank Christmas tree bit and throw it in your impact driver. It’s pretty impressive

[@jeffwright8608]

Your welding looks great! I used to weld but not that good 👍

[@brianhayes7618]

You sure are a resourceful fella

[@Madiba100]

Happy new year sir! Great content as always.

[@Hotrodford]

Nice job on the stand. Steel cost a pretty penny now…so expensive.

[@GrampyMike]

I really enjoyed that today, looking forword to the next one.

[@davekimbler2308]

Nice stand ! I’d put a tool tray on it and a boat gas tank and a throttle stick plus a choke , but that’s me not you ! Lol. Oh and an oil pan / tray to change the oil would be handy .

[@gayle4804]

Awesome I can hardly wait until that engine is running. Thank you for sharing

[@k-dawg3893]

Love your get 'er done work ethic! Nice work This N That!

[@Hbzprojects]

I'd say consider putting the gas tank somewhere else, so you don't end up with an exhaust manifold shooting flames right by it.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Great vid!!

[@tommccully1991]

Derek from Vice grip Garage calls Harbour Freight Hobo Freight Lol

[@02blackLightning]

Don't get the cutting wheels for that saw. Get yourself a metal cutting saw blade for that saw. It be spinning a bit faster then a saw actually made for that blade but it will work. Lots of people have swapped them but you will thank yourself you did it. Plus no more sparks or work harding and 100 times faster when cutting.

[@frankm8533]

Yup that's what we use at work trying to get my boss to get a Evolution saw

[@02blackLightning]

@@frankm8533 that's the saw I have. It's a beast!

[@frankm8533]

@first last Nice I don't know anybody with one only what I've watched on KZbin

[@02blackLightning]

@@frankm8533 yea thats where I saw it first and had to have one lol you really can't beat it tho for what it is and the price.

[@terrycollins416]

Nice job you better pa

[@terrycollins416]

Put a patent on it

[@mikehunt1418]

I been Building what i need{cause i am Dirt Poor canadian Hillbilly} My whole life.But You sir Inspire me to Always do better things each time Thank you another GREAT video !

[@haroldgetchelljr.4031]

Very good job😊

[@sv714]

Try Starrett saw blades. Love the videos!

[@kennethsonier1766]

Regardless of what you're working on it's always interesting. Your run stand looks very nice, looking forward to seeing you operating it. Keep up the great work and have a wonderful new year 👍✌️🇺🇲

[@theodoredugranrut8201]

A fine design executed well. A run stand is always a good thing. Thanks. Central California watching.

[@Lawnmowerman02346]

Another great video . I’m concerned about your motor mount verticals . Somehow I feel that they are too high and would have been better at an angle lowering the center of gravity . Adjustability and vibration and torque don’t play well together ( you put gussets on the radiator support ) . You may have to put quick pins in it to account for vibration . The higher the motor is the more stress you put on your welds . A triangle is the strongest and most stable structure . Don’t get hurt , we’ll miss your videos .

[@ThisNThatGarage]

This ain't a top fuel frame, it's a run stand that will see no load.

[@daleh645]

It takes a special kind of fabricator to use only plans in your head, KUDOS! I heard you singing…you need to be in Nashville! 🤠 God bless 🙏🏼🇺🇸

[@josephhead2748]

That was pretty cool. I love that kind of genius.

[@MichaelMcFearin]

Great project and as always nice video, thanks for the ideas.

[@statencooper9341]

Thanks for a great video keep them coming for a good year

[@johnshaver5693]

That kind of precision went into building DC10 aircraft....

[@jayshiinezzii2602]

I found your KZbin channel last night and let me just say. This is by far my favorite KZbin channel right now. Just makes me think of my paw and I really appreciate you being yourself!

[@ThisNThatGarage]

Preshate that. Stick around and we'll have some fun!

[@lllmmggg]

I don't know how I MISSED THIS EPISODE,, just now watching it,, I gotta clean up a mess I made, just about time you mentioned CHINA Freight ,I WAS TAKING A SWIG OF MELLO YELLO, AND WHEN I HEARD THAT I SPRAYED IT EVERYWHERE!!😲😳😳😂 reminds me of when I refer to TSC,,as HORSE SUPPLY ( ABOUT ALL THEY HAVE IS HORSE STUFF) AND WALMART MIGHT AS WELL BE CALLED "CHINA-MART"!!

[@davidcolesr.8628]

Good to see you Sir, I hope all is well

[@chrismsmalley2626]

So I'm watching a video about the 30 cylinder Sherman Tank engine made by Chrysler. The video is Visioracer " the super complicated 30 cylinder....." on the first shot of the straight 6 cyl. As reference is Your Video at 2 mins, pulling the generator out of the tree row, your garage basement, I thought I'd see Mrs Daisy come running up but didnt.... check it out.

[@mackdog3270]

LoL yeah, don't buy shop consumables at harbor freight. They last half as long as a big box store brand. I like the grizzly bi-metal bandsaw blades. They're a bit spendy, but they last. The one I've got on now has been going strong for six months. As a side note, I think the expensive harbor freight tools are pretty good. I've had no trouble with them. It's the cheaper stuff that's a gamble. LoL I bought twelve ton press and it looked like an A frame instead of an H frame after being assembled. What should have taken twenty minutes took five hours. Shims, spacers, and welding galore. You gotta give it to China, I got my money's worth in entertainment/irritation alone.

[@morgansword]

After watching the blooper video, my head keeps hearing you take some fits a laughing. Any old project like this has this thing called..... "IF" and the other one is "SHOULD AH DONE" so its a great start stand. This project could be as cheap as just crap ya had to going to the metal candy shop and spending say.. ten grand to do just what ya did now. Does it work, remains to be seen. It should if any of your luck holds out. I am quite certain that welding failure is not in this picture. What I do see tho is a hand throttle mounted on your stand somewhere so adjusting a carb or doing some dang unforeseen thing that will make sense when and how it does appear to happen as your so well now known to find, do, make its appearance. I was kind of hoping that you would put a volt gauge on it as well cause ya can and it just may make sense down the road. Ya, you know things do happen in your shop that has probably never happened in any shop before., Why, just cause its your kind of luck. I am only giving ya a thumb and a half cause part of my own thumb is missing. (fire cracker when I was a kid) so consider I gave it all I could.

[@pattycat100567]

just watched this,im gonna make one now!.........you know u could make a good amount of money patenting this design and marketing them, you could call it the ''tnt'' motor rack for this and that garage/.robbie in arkansas

[@tvoprosucks]

cut your flat stock vertical not laying flat on the chop saw, it will cut a lot faster

[@masonheggie706]

Friday is not over until This and That garage has been watched 💪💪💪

[@jamesmcdonald5868]

O degrees. Rain and snow? Just before Christmas. We had that here in Brighton, hour north of Memphis! It sucked for a little over a week!

[@nickmcminn2137]

Cool stand 👍. That flexplate sounded cracked

[@scottsullivan1464]

Please get rid of those mud tubes!!

[@pecktox]

You could probably use a cordless grinder, I have a DeWalt I run a 5v battery. I love it I use it a lot.. since I have other DeWalt tools I have extra batteries on hand.. pex

[@rebelregan7487]

Your awesome!!!!!!

[@road2ziondesign988]

Great job, very informative and helpful keep the content coming 💪

[@joebrock9784]

That way you could put you said a gate just hanging off of it with your radiator where you got your oil, pressure temperature and all that vital step right there you can buy them cheap Harber Frate, Little Ge today

[@babaninja9043]

A wise man once told me…don’t weld in the morning what you can’t torch or grind apart in the afternoon.

[@ham-wu4rg]

Not a bad job on that motter stand a shade tree mechani is the best to lear from the know more about older cars and trucks they know a thing or two about a thing or two they are the best to learn from

[@russmurphy7062]

I don't wanna point out obvious kinda thangs BUT, you forgot the throttle. Something to actuate the carb will be a huge help when a motor is cold. FE's,Windsor's and 385's all have different motor mounting. The LA Dodge blocks, versus the new style magnum, are also different. Your 318,when you pull it, will show you the typical mounting. A Chrysler big block is another one you'll have to make a set for. The back plate, I'd build for maker too. The Gm bolt pattern's are pretty much the same.

[@ThisNThatGarage]

I don't see any need in that. All I've got to do is reach up at the carb and hit the throttle. I believe I stated I would have to make different mounts for different motors.

[@markblackburn8685]

Nice

No need to make it fit a Ford motor... they never break. LOL... Happy New year bud, good to see you fabbin' instead of gettin; yer butt kicked by that friggin' Dodge. I'm tellin' ya, that truck is possessed.

[@ThisNThatGarage]

Right!

[@AnthonyRBlacker]

In my heart of hearts, in all of life and all that I myself do love, I truly 100% from the bottom of my heart truly do believe that the 2 absolutely most gratifying things in the world at large are 1- cutting the grass. The whole nine yards, trimming, edging, weeding, blowing.. all of it, weekly during the summer. That's just the absolute 2nd best rewarding chore in the world. I LOVE doing the lawn. Still cut the parent's and the in-law's lawns EVERY week (and I'm 44).. 2- Fabricating something from scratch. No BETTER feeling than a freshly fabricated something. Anything.. Steel, wood, tile work, 3d printed.. anything. Cutting the grass and fabricating both take me to the same mindset of nirvana. I love LOVE it!! Great video my friend, thank you for this one!!
