Re: The Black Knight, Need engine stand ideas
OK guys, ENGINE STAND, needing ideas and suggestions.
With its large oil pan and oil filter, this 400f is an awkward and tippy SOB.
Im looking at milk crates, lumber, unistruts, threaded rods...etc
And can not come up w a good idea to be able to place it up on my work-mate.
AND still pull oil pan, filter, side covers, clutch, head cover. etc. For work, cleaning and painting.
So if anyone has any pics or ideas of ANY kind of stand, that could be made to work for this. I would greatly appreciate it.

Re: The Black Knight, Need engine stand ideas
I made one when I was redoing the gt250 that fits on a regular engine stand. It is way overbuilt, but it was material that I already had around. It does a fantastic job and is very nice to be able to get all the way around the engine. Also, if you can believe it, my garage was actually clean enough and uncluttered enough at one point to have that in there LOL

OOOoooooooo. Levi !!!! Now thats cool. But my engine stand went when I sold the Mustang. ARGH
And my wire feed skills are NOT up to that challenge. haha

Re: The Black Knight, Sketchy engine stand
One word for this engine stand....
SKETCHY.
Really its actually sorta solid. : Though I may end up adding some flying buttresses before its over. LOL
And if need be, I wont be afraid to swap in longer front struts to tip the engine back for easier access to the soft underbelly.
