knobless Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Looking for a engine stand that’s a good one for flathead six, any suggestions? Had four I bought and sold every one of them, New in box, oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cutler Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Tips: 1) Make sure the front feet fit in between the front feet of your engine hoist. I've seen too many people try to make it fit and then the hoist or stand fall over. 2) A crank handle rather than a manual spin for rotating, makes it much easier to rotate the engine to work on the bottom end. 3) Get the maximum weight capacity that still works with #1 and #2 above. This is the current model I am using now....very solid unit. https://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200339473_200339473 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in PA Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Guys, that Sunex stand is the exact one I bought about 10 years ago to do the overhaul on a GM 3400 V6 for my daughter's Camaro. It worked great. I have a Chrysler 440 long block on it right now and need to mount the heads and everything else sometime this summer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spinneyhill Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I don't know if you have a 1934 parts book. SteveMo has posted one on his archive.org site: https://archive.org/details/@steverontario?&sort=-publicdate&page=2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
