I have an older engine stand that is sturdy and well built but is being occupied with another project, Looking into buying another but the local Northern and Harbor Freights pieces look like junk.

Every Stand on the websites look great, but pictures usually lie.

Can you recommend a good engine(build)stand that wont break the bank but is still a quality too?

thanks Henry


Seems like store bought stands are always too short and are getting flimsier as time goes on so, I finally built me one. Sturdy as heck and plenty tall. Made the head to fit Big Blocks since that's usually all I mess with but, I can throw an adjustable head in it for other engines. Also put the casters in the back...better for high speed turns biggrin

If I had to buy one it would probably be an OTC 1726a http://www.summitracing.com/parts/otc-1726a twocents
