I'm glad to hear you appreciate my ingenuity! If I was a whiz with a welder I might have done something different. But, I'm not. Working in construction I have access to all the free wood I need. It was a design as you build thing and solid as a rock!
I'll look into the slip plate. The engine didn't even wiggle on the stand. And, it was free!
It's just gravity. I ratchet strapped the k- frame and empty transmission case to the pallet. Didn't move a bit!
This **** is definitely nerve wracking! It's the first engine I've ever built from a bare block. Nothing stock about it inside but looks stock outside except for ARP head bolts and stealth heads.
yeah, that would be awesome!
That's an aggressive break in for sure
