Engine stand adapter to borrow?

Anyone in the South California mind letting me borrow an engine stand adapter for a period of time or have a used one for sale? Shoot me an email at Jinn444@aol.com or PM. Thanks!

Lol.

2, 2 X 4's and a sturdy table will do the trick as well.

I have an adapter, but it is currently holding my engine swap..Sorry.

Never had to use one of those fancy adapters, attach the engine to the head of your engine stand using the AC studs on the front plate.

I said i've had shady business dealings with SPD/Puresports in the past and you attacked me for it, so why did my reaction surprise you?
Otherwise, I have no issue and appreciate that you helped me out.

what attack? All I said was grow some ***** and say what you got to say instead of saying **** them without any explanation. But Boosted edited your posts and deleted mine.

5 gallon bucket or a table with a hole in the middle for the e-shaft.

You could do like I did and bend aluminum strips and bolt them to the front Iron......lt me see if I gotta pic................

I found it, look at the yellow/black part. it is for a regular V8. I just took the aluminum and bent at a 90 degree angle.

I dont remember saying "**** them". I said I felt that from my experience they had shady/sketchy business practices or something to that extent. I would've quoted it but the thread seems to be missing entirely. Maybe a misunderstanding from the context but if it came out the wrong way, no hard feelings on my end. Like I said, I appreciate you helped me out when I was in a bind before.

Also, thanks for the other advice offered. I'll just try to pick up a used one and if not, get the PR adapter.
