Dude, I have a new hobby, built 4 of these things.
Take 2 lengths of 2X8 22" long. Use some other scrap 2X12 maybe 2 feet wide, or whatever for base laying flat,crosswise.
Stand the 2X8 on edge (22" horizontal, 8" vertical) and screw to your cross pieces leaving a 8.5" to 9" gap. Cut some 2X8 triangles at 45 degrees and screw them in as braces between the 2X8 and the base pieces.
Drop oil pan in to long slot, will rest on pan rails.Ratchet ties on all 4 corners of motor.Also easy to unload. Saavy?
Thanks for the replies. Just realized I'm an idiot - forgot to ask if the engine's from auto or std tranny application. Called - it's from an auto. I'm planning a 4 speed so I need to determine if this can work.
I know it won't have a proper flywheel but is the crank the same so I can buy a flywheel? Kinda hoping cause its the first low mileage one I've come across for a decent price.
You can get a pilot bushing that fits in the converter register of an auto crank. Not a big deal.
dunno if it's a law, but I'm pretty sure I saw it recommended somewhere.I believe it's a law you have to use a tire.
