Here I've been hulking them over the rear sill in a second gen DSM all these years! Pshaw. Never again! My stand has never been so abused, however, laying stake to a clean, dry spot beneath my work bench in the garage for some time now. The big blue tarp resides in the backseat of the rally Galant behind locked door, lest the two make eye contact and a scuffle break out unsupervised. Now, from the you're doing it wrong files, this is the first time I've even seen a Mitsu block mounted to the stand by the side. Everyone I know uses the transmission mounting points to secure the block end-wise. This makes installation of the clutch, well, it makes installation of the clutch suck balls. I guess I figured the clutch alignment tool was required because someone knew we'd be bolting it to a block swaying less than gently in the breeze... Now *that’s* a cool idea.

We just finished transferring the B20 Volvo engine from it into the Amazon. Unfortunately, my next project engine is a flat 6 Corvair lump. Ummm....yeah, it won't fit on the stand. Hmmm...perhaps I'll just mount up the next B20 project engine. I have a now-empty engine stand sitting in my garage now. We just finished transferring the B20 Volvo engine from it into the Amazon.
