How to mount KA to 4 arm engine stand?

[Drift]

Might seem like a silly question, but I'm not sure how its done. Your have the four arms that protrude from the post ... then what?

[TrunkMonkey]

run long bolts through the four arms and thread them into the bolt holes on the block where the bellhousing attaches.

Mmm ... k Thanks. I'll just pick them up from the hardware - Any info on the size, length, pitch, etc ... of the bolts?

just the same size as your transmission bolts- bring one to the hardware store with you and get one that's a little bit longer. get some big washers too!

You bolt it up however you can, with whatever you can Its MUCH easier I figured out to take the mounting plate off of the motor stand, bolt it to the block, then put it all on the stand than to try to hold the block up while bolting it down...it seems like a simple concept, but I held it up the first time

haha I've heard so many people say that. I made myself a soft table with a surface of particle board and covered with cardboard to work on mine with... cause my mean brother wouldn't let me use his engine stand, and I am not in a position to own one right now.

They're only 30 bucks, lol.

[andrave]

right, but I'm moving into a small apartment. and they aren't 30 bucks, cheapest I saw was 50 locally. 30 online but then add shipping....

[red240ne]

eh, 30 at all of my local auto parts stores..but ok

[fiznat]

yea 30 here too.. haha sucker

[andrave]

eh, moot point now. but really, even at 30 it would sit in my basement here in WV for 3 years before I ever saw it again.oh well.

It is worth $30 if you only use it once!

[andrave]

different sense of value I guess.Send me 30 bucks then.

[Open4Cycle]

Sorry I have an engine stand and a house of my own!

[andrave]

OK. I'd take just the engine stand then, you can keep the house.for now.
