Re: K30 Downgrade to Cummins Project
Been working on a engine stand. Modeled it up in solidworks since I don't want to spend any more time than necessary on getting it to work like I want. It also makes analyzing the strength a snap.
I cut all the steel yesterday, just need to weld it together. Thanks to Ryan roo for the inspiration to do a heavy duty stand with an adapter plate. Only thing I need to decide now is if I want to direct couple the gearbox, the downside is it will add a foot to the overall length. Alternative is to do a chain drive but thats more work and not as clean. Here are both versions. What do you guys think? Shop space is at a premium for me.
