atypical engine stand

[Paul J]

Has anyone come up with a stable stand option to get an engine high enough from floor so flywheel and clutch can be installed? I will use cherry picker to hoist engine but want to set it down on stable footing to install flywheel. Then I will use cherry picker to move transaxle to engine and attach them. Then I can use picker to install the whole combo. Otherwise I suppose I will have to hoist engine and install flywheel then move engine to trans. The later seems like the engine would not be very stable for flywheel install.

I've see one case of a roller cradle that attached to the engine mounts rather than where the trans mounted.

Thanks Steve I will check into that.

I thought @bastarddsm had built something like that one.

Illinois State University has/had a cutaway 4G63T AWD Mitsubishi provided on a rolling cradle for some other ideas.
