Still need to TIG up a y-pipe, plumb, wire. Then start it up. Improved many things from original design.

Very nice set-up, just a few suggestions that I have seen that makes these stands even nicer, make it to where it is collapsible for ease of storage like some engine cherry pickers and raise the engine stands some more so that you can fit a drain pan in there to change out the break-in oil. Just thoughts in my head.

The whole dash/radiaor comes apart by unbolting two bolts and lifting it up. I dont like foldable because the radiator would hit the engine mount stands. I prefer to make them somewhat compact. This one fits in the backseat of my camaro so I had to take it to the powdercoater that way. Also, I dont want to damage the radiator cooling tubes and I always have an engine on it for show and tell when making harnesses. The oil can be drained even with the truck pan on it with a shallow drain pan. My engine hoist feet fit under the side rails too for easy engine installation.
