Hey DIY guys, I'm looking around for an engine stand to use for my type 1 project engine. I was wondering what types you might recommend? So far as I know, the \"H\" type is the best, not tipsy. Any suggestions/things I should also be aware of?

yes definately try to stick to 4 wheeled stands they offer superior stability.i had a three wheeled stand,dump a big block chev in my lap once, so not cool!!!!!!!

I thought you would have that motor in by now!? If he/she doesnt want it its yours.

Nope, got a new tranny on the way so everything is out right now. Also in the process of making the rear apron removable.

Haha, definitely a \"he\"... Brian go ahead & sell it to James, I unfortunately don't have the luxury of a bench, just the cold outside of my basement suite, at least the area's covered by the porch

So, by the looks of things those three wheeled stands look pretty tipsy, too bad 'cause they tend to be cheaper.
