Post by: Reinovator on November 03, 2009, 01:17:29 pm

  This is a little easier for me to test an engine be for starting installing it and my be messing up paint etc. and chasing wrenches!!!

 Engines not to clean yet but you've got to start some where.

See honey I need all That stuff I can't throw it out!!! Now if I could just get my truck in the shop.....

 The main frame was a mobile home trailer tong, some old bed frames, a map drawer I found at the dump and  some channel I found a while back. it needs better casters when loaded may be 8 shopping car casters, My generator has 6 and it's about right. but this is about 200 pounds heaver.

Make it the way you want it and take your time. I'm 6'3" and I need it a little higher.

When I have to use my 'electric scooter' (Wheel chair) in my shop I'll raise it.

But for now it will work. ;D ;D

i use this to run engines, works well for small block---8 cylinders.

However, it WILL NOT work for the 4.3 6 cylinder because the block is shorter and the starter interferes with the upright.
