Engine stand for 12v Cummins?
 

What engine stand do you guys recommend to put a 12v Cummins on?

Will be building one soon for my 69 K30 project.

I have this one but I never put a head on the short block on this stand. You need one like Jud's, (Vintage windmills), or Ryanroo's IMO. :lol:

I'd like to build a bigger one but I make this one work and don't have the time to mess with another one for a while.

Thanks Ryan. I've seen some like that. I'm like you, I'd wouldn't trust it with the head on. That's a lot of weight hanging off four bolts.

Someday I'll build a nice stand. I just don't have the extra time lately. I've built 2 engines and on to the 3rd on Thursday. This side work has been crazy this year.

We used the truck frame!

Here's mine that Ryan mentioned. Works good although I haven't rebuilt an engine on it yet. I decided to just have Ryan build one for me :) Sorry about the bad pics.

That's nice. So that's a custom stand?

It is custom. I designed and built it.
