Sorry it's not a wood stand , but I modified my engine assembly stand , I cut the down
tube & welded in another slip tube for the old v8 yolk plate, I pick up a vw bus bellhousing off samba ( $30 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ) , I mounted it low for balance , here's a few pictures , I also made a battery tray with a instrument panel with some extra gauges I had , Bill D.      |

rhody, here's the test stand I built from ebay plans for $150. I modified to serve as dolly and to hoist the engine for installation.
