Re: Engine Stand (Tom Johnson)
Tom;
The transmission will mount on the stand just fine, I'm sure, since the bolt pattern is the same as the block. However, all the transmission internals have to come out the front of the transmission, which is the end that will be bolted to the stand. Might be a bit awkward.

Re: Engine Stand (74-Roadster)
74.Roadster, Some engine stands have 3 wheels and some have 4. I recomend the ones with 4 since its more stable. If yur only gonna use it once or twice in yur life then the cheapo ones do just fine. I got mine at Price Club for like $50. I used it twice and then swaped it for other stuff I needed.

Re: Engine Stand (Tom Johnson)
I just brought home my old 327 this week for storage until I can sell it (1962/1963 Chev. block with a bad ring). Since I will never need another again, I just quickly built one. I added casters to 2 used 4X4's and a couple of old 2X4's for cross-pieces. Works great.
