IamScotticus Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 (edited) Hello, I need to pull my X Flow lump for a seal refresh as Im sure they're from original build in 85. I would like those block shipping side stands for bench work. Im willing to return them on a lend. Not available at Pegasus for a while. Thanks Scott In Houston, Tx.

anduril3019 Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 I might be able to loan a pair. Do you have a rough idea of how long you'll need them?
7Westfield Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 I just made a mount for my engine stand. A piece of tube to fit stand with a plate welded on end, drilled to bolt on side of block. Put it on left side mount, and you can spin the motor and get to everything. Using the shipping stands seems like a real PITA, especially for getting at the pan gasket. Charlie

I was going to do a search to see if those were available commercially or part of a stand kit. Perhaps you have gone down that road already?

Yes, buying a work stand is the easy part. Ive seen several xflow builders on utubes using stands with side mounts. mostly English.
