[old-chevy-truck] Re: Engine Stand Needed
I have a good 3 legged stand, and have had no trouble with it. It's an older Walker brand, so it's built stout. One thing you do need to watch out for though, is your 292 or any inline 6 leverages the weight out farther than a v8, so it puts a lot of strain on the head of the engine stand. I don't think the cheap ones will hold up for any length of time with an inline hanging on them. My son had a jeep six on his good stand, and it sagged down at the outer end. Just be careful! And if you go the cheap route, definitely get the 4 legs. --- In old-chevy-truck@yahoogroups.com, Karl Eastman drbogus2@... wrote: Stay away from the 3 legged engines stands!!!

Re: [old-chevy-truck] Re: Engine Stand Needed
I would like to revise my earlier statement. If you have an older, Quality made stand from back in the days when they were built for Quality, not quantity...then that is the only way I would use a 3 legged stand.

Re: [old-chevy-truck] Re: Engine Stand Needed
Funny story...I came home one day years ago with 4 new Lincoln (The welder company) jack stands. My wife said...oh my god, how much did they cost? I said over a hundred dollars a piece. She said you spent over $400.00 on those? I said yep, if my life isn't worth protecting for $400.00 to keep myself safe when workling on my toys, then I am done listening to your opinion. Divorce proceedings went well,but...I still have all my toys, and am still in one piece. Protecting myself has always been worth the arguement. Happy Rebuilding.

Nate: I have one of those Harbor Freight stands sitting outside since a friend gave me one to mount the 261 on (long term work in progress/learn as I go project). I'm off today, and would have the time to dismantle it, box it up, and drop it by UPS tomorrow to ship to you for nothing. I would GLADLY consider the shipping costs as a small token of thanks for all the knowledge you have shared with me and all of us in this forum. You are a gem...say the word. Email me your shipping address. I would appreciate it.
