Engine/trans storage stand

I disconnected the TH350 from my old L48 SB today and had to modify the storage stand that I built from a Summit stand and some material from the hardware store.
My advice to anyone who wants a storage stand: build your own. That $50 plus shipping for the China made stand is a waste - if you want it to be sturdy and have the engine at a reasonable height: do it yourself or have it done at a local shop.

Here's the old engine on it's stand (I'll rebuild it eventually) :

Yes, that's a whole lot better than the chinese thing summit sells.


I had a complete run in stand, I'll have to build a new one, chopped the old one up because I needed the tubing

I want to see pic's of how you used the garage door opener to lift the trans :drink:

looks good.....what is the plan for the car in the back ground?
