If I get it back, I'll loan it to you!

But you really don't need one to build the engine..

How long will you need it for?

I made mine out of about 15" of 3" angle iron. Just drilled holes in it to match the front plate mounts and drilled more holes in it to match the engine stand.

^That's what I wanted to do originally, however, I seem to have trouble getting the right material I need. I made my own out of angle iron, but it proved to be too flimsy and unsafe. I need thicker material to build it out of (probobly 1/8"-1/4" flat stock). What I really want to do is weld my own out of flat stock; however, I don't have the tools I need to do it (MIG, TIG, or arc), nor can I afford them right now.

I'm looking to buy one. I don't know when I'll be able to get it back.
