[TR] Engine stand

[DAVE HOGYE]

I also have the Harbor Freight engine stands.  Three of them.  Have rebuilt TR3 engines on them.  I modified two of them for use as a rotisserie for working on frames and body tubs, by welding rotating casters on the stationary side.  All I have to do is flip the square tube around for use as an engine stand.

Even though the V6 has a cast steel block with aluminum heads and aluminum intake manifold, it is still a lot of weight and I had zero issues with the engine stand. Very stable and easy to roll around. Now planning to use the same stand to rebuild the TR3's engine.
