I brought home the 3.0 and need to get it off the four wheel dolly so I an get it leaned up. Steve Wong has offered use of his HF engine stand with modified transmission mount. I'm excited about working on something besides the body. Anybody want to give me any advice about mounting the engine?

I used a HF four wheeled engine stand for my 3.0 using the ring style adapter. I mounted the ring adapter to the stand. The portion of the stand rotated and pulls out if you pull a pin. I removed that portion and bolted it to the engine. So if you can vision this I had the engine, the adapter , and the part of the stand all bolted as one. With the help of a few friends we just lifted the engine off the dolly I had it on and lined up the yoke/shaft of the stand piece and slid it into the stand. Put the pin back in a good to go. I had the engine on the stand for about a year. Stable with no issues and so easy to work on.
