ya get a engine stand from a yard sale or something cheep like that and cut the head off it (the part that the handle goes in and bolts to the block) then weld it to a nice piece of pipe or tube then make a big "T" and bam your done I will take a pic of mine here in a sec

Took my dads old carquest special and reenforced it where I saw fit and def laid a couple more welds on the plate and tube assembly. Tested it with my buds long block and it worked as it should.
