Does anyone fabricate / sell a nice engine display stand? I'm not talking about your average Harbor Freight or Northern Tool or eBay type engine stand, but rather a nice looking stand to display a fully assembled Chevy engine.

Thanks Bill. I have a couple of those and they ARE nice for storing an engine, perhaps under a workbench or out of the way. What I am looking for is a nice looking stand to display an engine on, for display only, not for working on the engine. I can imagine something that GM would have used for a display. Might just have to fabricate one.


Thanks,
Rex

Try "Motofeet" with casters.

John,
I hope there is a 2nd leg on the other side hidden by the block & pan!

Nice looking stand.

I've see a couple of different versions of this.






I just have to convince my wife how great this would look in the family room!

I have a 572 with accessory drive on those and it holds the weight well. I ordered mine without casters and installed larger casters. My shop floor is not as nice and clean as John's so I needed a "rough terrain" version.
