brat86 Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 It's the 2 piece engine stand in the FSM. Tried SOA, they may be able to get it but not sure. It's listed at $125 each piece anyway. So, back to the original plan, build it. Actually have it built, I know a cheap welder that works for a major boat builder in Sarasota. He said he would do it for free, but I feel it's worth at least a gallon of rum. Anyway, what I need is measurements. To have it built I have to provide a 3-view drawing. If anyone has one or has copied one let me know. Or if there is another source of that type stand. I tried Fisher Buggy in Tampa, but they use a one piece bench mounted stand. I've seen a floor stand like sube's at a bug shop years ago, but the guy at Fishers no comprende... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 What do you need it for? Seems like a lot of work to me.... GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aba4430 Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 I will post details this evening. I have a "How to keep your Subaru alive" manual laying around and for the 1.8's it includes instructions to build a stand out of two 2 X 4's and two 2 X 6's. The 2 X 6's are right at 26" and the 2 X 4's overlap them on the outside - so I would think those would be 26" plus 1.5" overlap on each side for 29" each piece of the 2 X 4. I will confirm this evening. Regards, aba4430 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archemitis Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 thats great for v8 s that weigh 4-1000 lbs, but you can just set a sube motor on a bench or a wicker basket for that matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brat86 Posted April 22, 2004 Author Share Posted April 22, 2004 I need it for 2 reasons. One is to access the rear to remark my ea-81 flywheel. The other is to carry it through my house. It's mounted on a standard engine stand now and the heads won't fit through the door without turning it sideways. Besides, if you've seen the pics from my other posts you'll see that I would hate to scratch the engine. A picture of the stand I need is on page 3, sec 1-6 of the 1989 FSM.

brat86 Posted April 25, 2004 Author Share Posted April 25, 2004 I found it...got pics, measurements. Local sube dealer was most helpful. May build a pair myself, good excuse to add an oxy-acet setup to the collection. Here it is. I have better pics if you send an email address. Note the stand in the picture has the EJ adapter plate attached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pierman2 Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 If you need a strong back and a weak mind I'm your man. Let me know when and if you need help and we still have access to that engine stand when you're ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
