Does anyone know that if the ordinary engine stand could hold a 914-4 engine?
Or, does it need the adapter ring to mount the engine? If so, does anyone have the dimension of the adapter, size & diagram? Thanks alot. |

For my first engine stand, I made a tracing of half of the transmission bellhousing. and took it to my friend's father (a machinist) who made me a ring. I then bought two JC Whitney VW engine stand adapters and cut the arms off and welded all four arms to my half ring.
The thing seems pretty strong still. I went and bought a real adapter for a standard engine stand (five arms) and both work well. The bought one is slightly nicer than the one I made many years ago. |
