you scare me some times

first you still have the upper oil pan attached to the block so building it will tough

Here is a pic of how I did mine

 

im getting it on the stand to strip it down silly goose

 

hmmmmm maybe im retarded let me go check the block out again, i like your style let me go try that out

 

well you wont be able to disassemble it with the upper oil pan on and attached to the stand

 

Hahaaaaa wow I'm good at this didn't notice that...

thanks got it now! Gotta go out and buy one more bolt thanks westpak!

 

just how westpak has it is a great way. motor fully supported

 

yea did that thanks again westpak, there should be no problem holding the long block until i strip the heads off right?

 

no I disassembled and built mine all the way to long block including plenum, it is just heavy and have to be careful with the balance if you try to turn it, once at short block level it is really easy to maneuver

 

mounting engine on stand now, is the above picture a pretty good reference of where you want the engine on the stand.

 

dafuk??

You can put a full engine with all accessories on a stand and tear it down. How else do you get the upper pan off? I put them straight on the stand, spin the engine up side down and then start unbolting all the oil pans to strip it down to the bare block. Done it many times on cars.
