Engine Stand Fabrication
Hey all, I found out I need to fabricate or buy something to make a normal engine stand able to hold a 13B... anyone know where I can buy this, or find directions for making one?
I'm in SoCal in the San Fernando Valley so if anyone knows a place in that area that'd be good.

Actually that's what I need it for hehe, I need to disassemble it on the stand to rebuild it... I'm GUESSING it'd be a real bitch to pull apart, or put back together, if I can't manuver it around.
So anyone know about these brackets? I know I read an article or something on it once and it was very good at explaining about it... but now I don't know where it is!

Do you have a good welder? You can just get two L-sheet metal and with 4 smaller plates, make a "rib" and weld it. But you still got to drill holes.
Or you can just buy the engine adaptor on eBay for $40-50 shipped. I've been using it for disassembly of my engines and its working great.

Thats the one I have. You can probably make one yourself and save a few bucks but its up to you if you want to spend the time doing it.

Thank Dan! Just what I needed, I found someone to borrow an engine stand from so I gotta find out what kind of stand it is so I can buy the mount but at least I know for sure I can get one. =)

I've got that one also and it works great! I didn't have access to a welder or scrap iron.
