just a quick question, when i get my block, do i bolt it up to the engine stand where the tranny would bolt up?

 

yes

 

If you don't have the stand yet, here's a suggestion: Spend the extra few bucks and get a 4-wheel type. The lower cost of the tricycle kind can't be justified with the reduced stability. Don't know how many times I've just about tipped mine over, doing little things like tightening a bolt.

 

I've got the 4 wheel type.
It was kinda funky trying to bolt the motor to it, it has these strange "V" brackets that you have to orientate to meet up with the tranny holes on the motor.
Here is a pic,

 

yeah i allready have it, it's got 4 wheels if that's what you ment. now if i could just get the ****ing engine block, it's a long story but i've been waiting since may.

 

well damn if your stand has 4 wheels already you may as well avoid the aggravation and drive that til the block comes through

 

First off the 4 wheel engine stand is the best. And second, no offense but Zepher I think it might be time to clean the garage. I can't work if there is more than one part on the bench or more than 3 wrenches laying on the floor, but maybe I'm just a neat freak.

Yeah that's a little too cluttered for me. My garage is fairly large (2 car, 2 story garage, seperate from the house, with a big work bench and lots of room to work on stuff) and it's not really cluttered, everything is stored on shelves or at least off to the side, and organized. Power tools with power tools, cleaners with cleaners. Yard stuff with yard stuff. Etc. etc. The upstairs has a big old contractor's work bench that's perfect for doing work that's not very messy.

 

That is clean, you should see it now.

I was going to clean up today, but got tied up with other activities.

Oh, and I hate to work when there is so much clutter, maybe that is why I haven't worked on the car in awhile.

 

so sad =/

do you want to just never have to clean again, and ship me your car and all the associated parts ? i'll pay S&H and pay for the car with a song and a dance, k ?

 

Wow, that is such a good offer, how can I even consider refusing it?

Shipping and handling is going to be about $7K. you can paypal it to me.

 

what bolts will i need to mount it on? mine just has tubes that come out at the spokes or whatever they are.
