It certainly isn't $100. But you do get what you pay for. One dropped engine, bad back, etc is more than this stand costs. Not sure if you seen this engine stand with the 8.3L Cummins mounted longways on it. Not bad for a 450kg (1000#) rated engine stand.
Nicest engine stand I've seen. I'd buy one if I built more than one engine every 15 years, lol. By the way, do you sell just the Chevy motor plate and or mounting bolts and spacers?
Thanks. I appreciate that. Yes, we could. I would need to know where the slots/holes are in your existing engine stands mounting plate. Either that, or you could give me the width and height of your existing mounting plate, and if you are comfortable in drilling holes in the existing plate, then, I could provide something that would fit. You can send us an enquiry through our website mechanicsmate.com.au
If you are a professional or avid hobbyist that works on engines all the time, it's worth the 2 grand. If you are only going to work on one engine in your entire life, you can do without it.
I have a customer running an engine on one of these stands. I wouldn't recommend it though without clamping the main shaft to stop the vibration on the gears in the gearbox.
The best stand I have seen so far!
Thanks. We did try to address all the issues around heavier engines.
That’s a pretty engine stand with all that stainless but you know it can’t be cheap.

Good isn't cheap, and cheap isn't good.

Let’s just said 5hat the wife will not be happy if you only used few times. Anyway, this engine stand is awesome and a very clever ideas.
Agreed. Your job would be to figure out how to use it to help her out :-)
Nothing about rotating the engine with a steering box?
I'm not sure what you mean by rotating the engine with a steering box.
We use an industrial gearbox for rotation with a cordless drill.
How thick is the adapter plate that bolts to the rear of the engine?
Why do you ask?
@@mechanicsmateauI wanted to buy one for an existing engine stand I have and want to compare the thickness to the plate that is on it now.
@@TTGTO288 send me an enquiry through our website with the engine you would like to mount and I'll get back to you.
that engine is half the length of a Jaguar XK inline 6.
