[Healeys] Engine stand

Mon Mar 30 12:49:24 MDT 2020

Its heavy! I built my engine stand years ago out of 1/4" tube stock
but I still put a wood brace under the engine while it was on the
stand. (photo) It sat on that stand for 40+ years until I got around
to finishing the car, so I know it did the job...lightweights might be
questionable-work safe! Hank

 What does the 4 cylinder engine weigh? Harbor Freight has a 700 lb
capacity engine stand for $60. How do you attach the 4 cylinder engine
to the stand? I find myself having time lately to assemble the engine
of my BN2. Short block is finished. Need to put the head and the rest
before dropping it in the car.

	A quick one. Do you think that this stand is man enough for a
3000’s engine?

	Got to be a decent thing and, on four wheels, presumably stable. But,
but…..our engines are long and heavy. 

	What does the team think? 

	Thanks,
