Hi Tony
Could you give us a couple of photos of your custom engine stand, and some overall measurements? Good simple engine stands that actually can be rolled around make working in the shop so much easier.
I've done one for the Chevy 216 engine which is a combination storage and test stand. Yours intrigues me because it has even a smaller foot print. Are you happy with how it roles around and how stable is it the tricycle wheel lay out?
Cheers Phil
