This engine stand is a pretty rocking design. Great to see some of the race car prep spilling over to fabricated tools. The gussets, capped tube ends, bearings in double shear, and some quality TIG welding. Well done. May have to try my hand at one? I do want to swap the head and build the intake ma...

Fantastic job. I’ve been thinking about an engine stand too. I like the design of the Beta tool, but I’m unsure if I’d trip on the two forward reaching legs?
Nice gusset work and the bearings in double shear.

With all due respect John, we have to hook you up with some TIG welding clinics.

For what it's worth, I've never actually seen or had an inner driver failure besides a broken axle or tripod taking one out. I think the sleeve would be slightly beneficial as more of a protective armor, but not much need for it otherwise. Let's just say most everything we do for prep is overkill. ...

Time to upgrade the inner driver sleeves since it is apart?

With the camshaft fitted it’s all over at 6500. Using B234 turbo injectors in the original place in the manifold, welded in some bosses. Changed over to LE type injection. It won’t let me attach pics, maybe too big a file. Not very tech savvy but will try some more. Yes this website kick my ass whe...

Need a money shot of that. Although those flares look good.

Lovely shot...

Good to hear things are well. My family is doing well too and say hello. Need to make another trip some year.
Are these what you are looking for?

Hello Perry, good to hear from you. Unfortunate about the mass fires. Hope you and your family stay safe.

Bit of an involved process. By design I left a gap between the inner driver outer flange and the interface with the girdle’s side plate. 54337A38-6221-4B21-BE4D-8F4A469CBA54.jpeg I added (2) .60mm shims prior to tacking insitu the reach around to the strongback. Opening up holes on the diff cover wo...

Thanks. I’m pretty happy how it came out. I did not do a deflection vs load test which planning, but cold setting it to true up square, she is frickin tough. Just under double the weight of the cover I build. Approx 2.8 lbs increase. Scale is set to grams. 2568g = 5.65 lbs. C4121770-6130-403F-B63B-A...

Over 3 years and now I can call it done.

Final piece fitted, tacked, and welded. The top cap really stiffened up the arm.
Next steps: paint, weigh, deflection vs load testing.

Some changes since the last post. I capped off the frame dimples. I wanted to add some rigidity (I value) with the dimples, but I hosed myself as I took away the shear of the panel. 10E11AA6-1383-47A5-A309-BE5F61E74D0C.jpeg Added a diagonal from the inner driver flange to the strongback. 22FFD70F-3F...
