Hey guys,
My newest project came with a nice little extra, a 1966 383 4 barrel that I believe was pulled from a running C-body. I've got it on my current engine stand (an AC Delco from the parts store) and to be honest is scares the crap out of me.
The engine droops at least a couple of inches and the brackets that hold the engine to the stand are noticeably flexing under the weight. Its scared me enough that I actually have the engine hooked up to my hoist as a "backup".
Can somebody recommend a quality engine stand that is reasonably priced?
