Engine & Trans Cradle Pics Please!
I've just about finished my 406 build and would like to attach the clutch & trans before dropping it in together. What have you guys used/designed/built to support everything during clutch/trans assembly??? Detailed pics would be great!!!
Sorry...no engine pics. My digital camera took a header off the workbench Saturday while I was setting up lights to take pics...

I went through the same installation last year. I used a set of Motofeet (available from local auto parts stores for about $40 without wheels). They allowed me to bolt everything on and were very handy. Here's a link to some pics of my work. You can see them at the edges of some of the pictures and in the photo below. They look like they wouldn't balance with the weight of the engine and transmission, but they work great. The Motofeet site also has some photos.
Hope this helps...

Just what I'm looking for. Thanks Z-Man
P.S. Too bad my BW ST-10 won't double as a cocktail table
