Engine stand


I have my engine pulled and want to do a few things before I put it back in the car. The engine hoist is not mine, I want to get it back to the owner.

I don't want to buy an engine stand if I don't have to...

Any ideas..............................

Thanks,

Robert

An engine stand is only like $30 or $40, you could I suppose set it on the floor with blocks of wood under it to keep it off the oil pan.

Yes a engine stand is $50, but why buy one if you only need it once.

Some of us are on a budget, with a Mortgage, kids, wife, x wife
