I opted for a build based on two 400 kg (some 850 lbs) dollies with four free steering wheels and brakes on two. A couple of scaffolding tubing and joints for some 180 $ make a nice and rather solid stand. I'll have a friend cut a steel plate for the fixing holes on the engine transmission side. Then I may be able to turn the engine on two axis. Could be handy to store the block on the stand. |
