I use braided line, have had the copper metal lines break from vibrations

x 2 i found it easier when the metal was cold.

This is more of a fixture, than tool used a head gasket to locate/ drill the holes, then used head studs and washers to attach the plate to the block it is a piece of C-channel, used to hold the mag. drill to drill/ tap for a external cooling fitting

I've posted these stands before doing some 360-1 heads now rock shaft is cut in half, extra hole drilled for using big block head also attached to a locking collar at each end adjustable > 360*

i built them elbow high (for my height) so that, I could lean on the bench, but also high enough , that could store engines, on stands, under the bench. my walls are already metal (a 40' section of DC-10) also built the bench legs into the wall, less to trip over... notched the laminated top...

didn't realize the welder sat so low, nowhere to store the 50ft. of power cord the leads are only 4 1/2ft. long So built a taller cart but, something is missing needed a shelf for the other body tools Now its a better working height time to install the tubbs and trunk floor
