Input Wanted on Engine Stand Transmission Adapter

[Detroit Iron]

I'm looking to buy an adapter so I can mount/hang/swivel at (904) transmission on an engine stand like the one pictured. Anyone have input on this?

Heres is thread i started, looking for similar suggestions. I ended up using 4 grade 8 threaded rods with pvc "spacers"
@CFD244 made a really nice adapter.

Table top as another option. Drill a hole so the flat surface where tailshaft attaches is flat on table top, centered with tailshaft opening. Pan rail off edge of table. Drop tailshaft into case and it runs through the hole. Drip pan under the hole too.

The all thread/pvc spacers is great. Straight up hillbilly engineering, inexpensive and easy to store when finished!

The stood up wheelbarrow is my all time favorite. I wish I still had the picture. He is/was a member here, FBBO, moparts. West Va guy IIRC. Had an A12 for a while or still does. Can't remember his name. Had the 10000 day calendar on a site he ran and sold it off to someone. Something Lightning????

On the all thread, use a ny-lock on the inside span if not using spacers. Ny lock won't generally back off when in position. Regular nuts need to be double nutted to lock in place and still susceptible to loosening up.

I'm going to go with the threaded rod style. I will post pix when I'm done.
