Anyone have an engine stand sitting around..
« on: May 09, 2013, 01:32:26 pm »
Pulling my LQ1 out of my Fiero for some work and my cheap 3 wheeled harbor freight engine stand doesn't feel stable enough to hold the LQ1 while rotating it..

Anyone have an engine stand for sale or even for a long term borrow?

Warmest Regards,
Marc

I have a Harbor Freight engine stand, which I used when I rebuilt my duke. It was good enough for that, but I don't know how it would do with a larger engine.

Mine has 4 wheels. I just got through checking in the garage. It's buried kind of deep in stuff, but I think we could get it out.

Sounds like it may work..

Where abouts are you located?  When is a good time for you?
