i've got my eyes on an engine stand from machine mart. are they well handy?


aye its the old engine with a fettled GM head.

I have a draper stand, not sure what others are like but its good as i can rotate the engine 360 deg on the stand


how much did that stand cost ya? i have to get one... very handy saves having to lug the block around....
