looking for an engine stand that will hold the weight of a 12 valve. has anyone tried to put on on the heavy duty folding engine stand from harbor freight? need one to tear the engine down so one that rotates would be best.

 

I would want one that is bolted to both sides of the motor...

maybe something like this? Norco 78200 Engine Repair Stand

It's salty, and I'm sure there are other options out there. However, a 12V is pretty heavy.......

 

every nice stand...... and it should be for that price not quite in the budget for something that expensive right now. still have to some how pull a welder out of my crack too for my swap.

 

I totally agree. that stand is more for someone who would use it ALOT...Just was using that stand for reference. I am just thinking of a stand a little more sturdy than a "1-ender"

could always get the welder, and make a stand outta square stock and plate steel.... (takes a bit of time though...)

 

Something like this could work for you.

I bought my 2K lbs stand at Harbor freight, I can't remember the price but it was cheap. I havn't had a Cummins on it but it handles a Pontiac 455 without problem.

 

H.R.D. that is exactly what the harbor freight one is like! I think that is what im going to go with so hopefully it works.... i need one asap the engine is resting one a couple of tires hooked to my hoist still

 

Looks like the one I have except mine dosn't fold up

 

Let us know how it turns out my friend.
