[ihc] Engine stand recommendations

[Joel M Brodsky <jmbrodsky@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Binders,
      Way back before I even started my engine swap I bought an engine
stand...yeah, yeah the Harbor Freight kind.
The kind with the arms too small to fit the bell pattern of an IH SV.  So,
it went to the side of the shop and I made these nifty wooden cradles out
of 2x6 and have been using them, trouble free, for years now.  The question
is, what do you all do to modify your engine stand so that you can actually
work on the engines instead of just swapping things back and forth while
the bottom end is in a wooden cradle?
      I can do any job to a level higher than the crank (heads, manifolds,
water pumps, etc) just can't do oil pumps, pans, and things below.

Thanks for any info,

JoelB
