Not sure where to post this so if its in the wrong spot im sorry. But i picked up a used engine over the weekend to start building (first engine build im attempting). Anyways, when i got the engine on the engine stand, only the top holes and holes to the left are threaded. So i was wondering how everyone else mounted their engine because right now its only being held up by 3 bolts and that kinda scares me

 

You have to buy a nut and bolt for the 4th position.

 

ah ok thats what i was thinking but i just wanted to make sure. Thanks!

 

That's if you're worried about it. I usually just stick the 4th arm over the dowel.

 

What size bolts did you need to purchase to mount your engine in the stand?

 

i just cut about a 7 inch piece of 1/2 in all thread and put 2 bolts on it

 

 

Nice thanks, what did you use for the other 3 bolts?

Just the ones you removed from the transmission?

 

yup just the ones i removed from the transmission
