Pete, you should know better than that, if a transom job takes 3 sheets of ply, you order 4 and charge out 5, and somehow mysteriously you end up with a stack of ply

That's what I think every time I go to get some. I do have enough material to have a couple of franklins in those 2 projects if I didn't already have it. Sometimes a pack rat has just what he needs around the house! LOL |

Eric, this is the ticket and the strength of regular glue on a long grain to long grain joint is amazing. I think I have a sample of gorilla glue, but I have yet to try it. What Pete said about sticky hands is all I've heard. |

Eric, Woodworkers journal did a very in depth study on glues and found that the polyurethanes (gorilla) glues weren't the greatest!! It is gap filling for the sloppy woodworker but the bigger the gap, the weaker the joint. The titebond II came out on top if I remember correctly. Titebond III is said to be "waterproof" but I wouldn't use it on a boat. The results on the polys did surprise me because the stuff sure sticks to your hands and you need to wear it for several days! |

LOL Fancy? Nah, just functional. The only new wood in either stand is the crooked, cheap stuff from the big box store that was left over from other projects. Remember, less than $3 in all 5! |

Bruce, My stands never get as fancy as Greg's! He has this obsession with wood that even if it isn't required it needs to be real fancy! I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't get out the sealer and poly to give his boat stands and engine stand 8 or 9 coats.
Mine is simply a couple of 2X8's to simulate the stringers in the boat. A couple of 2x4's connecting them via angle iron bolted in the corners. 4 steel plates in the corners to match the bolt pattern of 4 - 3" dia. steel wheel swivel casters. The caster plates are welded off to the corner angle iron. |

My rear mounts are on the engine, not the trans.
I was thinking about using 4x4s and bolting them together for the frame. Easier for me than notching, but that is a good picture of what I want to do. |

The wood glue and 2.5's are fine, and half lapped does mean notched to me. Pete may have 1 of his cool pics? The thing about this stand is that it relies on the trans...won't work without. Your set-up may be different. The stand counts on tight tolerances at the joints and being flat for it's strength. |

Elmers wood glue and 2.5" drywall screws are good enough? Half lapped means notched? I'm not a woodworker. I was thinking about buying an engine hoist, but I really don't need one if I can build a stand like that. I can haul the engine out with a comealong.
Boat Dr, what kind of PU you drive? It's a toasty warm sunny 31 here today. We had a little 4" snow storm yesterday. I got to spend an hour getting some exercise cleaning it up. It's so much fun, you don't know what you're missing. |

Thanks Doc. If it makes you feel better, the last 1 I did had the distributer in the front......from a long block though, not from the ground up.

Thanks Bruce...and you're a genius! That's what's missing from mine. I had to block mine up so the picker could get under. I knew something was tugging at my head when I saw uk1979 set his up for a pallet jack. 5.5" casters would solve at least 2 problems.
The frame is 2 glued up 2x4's half-lapped at the joints. The 'risers' are just stacked 2x4's. Everything is glued and screwed. |

Great looking engine. I'd like to drop it my Mustang.
I'm interested in your engine stand. I've been building one in my head. Are those just 2x4s fastened together? It looks like you might have notched the framing? How is everything attached? I'd like to build one and put casters on it. |

"Must've been a fluke." You do know that Fluke is the largest manufacturer of electrical measuring devices!!!
Put some dielectric grease on the terminal under the rubber boot and it will be fine. You won't have any leaks anyway - correct?!! The aluminum manifold won't be a issue ether. If it does corrode a little, it will only be at the edges. If you ever did have problems, the first thing to do is grab the Fluke and measure resistence at the temp sender. |

Here's another. If you look at my last pic you'll see the the fuel line connection is directly above the water temp sender. The sender will have a rubber boot and I hope the line doesn't ever leak, but am I asking for trouble down the road?
The sender could be moved to the other side, but it's where it needs to be(same side as elec choke) for a clean wiring job. Also, will it operate right with the aluminum manifold(ground)? |
