[alfa] Re: engine stands

["P Hood" <phood56@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Faithful Digesti:    Thanks to everyone that replied to me both on and
off-digest to my query regarding engine stands for the 2l engine. (What a
helpful and generous bunch of folks you are!) The favorite has, far and
away, been Jim Steck's AutoComponenti adaptor assembly, so I will order
one of these and let the fun begin. Though I can see the advantages of
having the engine mounted from one side only, I think I'll build a brace
that mounts onto the stand after the engine is in place and extends down
the the stand's legs, so that I have the motor supported from both sides
while torquing things, yet I'll be able to remove the off-side bracket
when it's time to do the fuel injection/intake assembly.    I'm really
pleased to be associated with a group that so willingly shares it's
secrets with one another...a rarity, it seems, in this day and age.                                              
Bravo, Digesti!                                               Pat Hood,
