I was so impressed by the stand in Warren's post that I made one. I got 2 of the cheapo Harbor Freight stands and modified them. I had to cut and weld the vertical support because the pivot tubes were pointing different directions. The cheap stands have a lot of flex in them so I had to add more bolts were they fit together and I did not want the tubes to bind from the stand flexing. I added a detachable boom to move the engine on and off the stand. I cut off the wheels and welded the castors on. It works very well. I still need to put a locking mechanism to lock the stand.
