Product Description

By entering your model number, you can make sure that this fits.

All LS series engines, including the LS1, LS2, LS3, LS7, LS9, LM4, LM7, LQ4, and LQ9, are compatible.

While the engine is off, the transmission can stay connected to it.

It's easy to move because the stand is small and light.

1/4" steel is used to make the mounting plate.

Bolts for mounting are included.

Questions & Answers

Is it possible to fit a complete LS motor, oil pan and all, in this stand while maintaining ground clearance?

Yes, these stands have a couple of intake to oil pans.

Will this holt and roll easily with a fully dressed 454, weighing around 750 pounds?

It is not able to roll because it lacks casters. This is designed for the "LS" engine, so unless you have a 454 LS motor, you will not be able to use it.

Is this compatible with a Chevy V8 400 small block 6? Is it an 8G 30 from 1970?

The engine is supported by bolting to the (4) motor mount connections on this stand for LS engines. (Compatible with all LS series engines, including the LS1, LS2, LS3, LS7, LS9, LM4, LM7, LQ4, and LQ9.) A three-bolt motor mount is used in the small-block Chevy series. So this model won't work; they might make one for the small block series, but I'm not sure.

Is it possible to use a duramax for this?

It worked for me on my 6. I'm not sure about the Duramax motor mounts, but it's a heavier engine, and the oil pan could be touching the ground.

Very shoddy workmanship

3/5

If you're going to store your engine on 2x4s, do so. Welds that are missing, incomplete, or simply badly done. It's a costly mishap on the verge of occurring.

This is a fantastic, small stand! It's simple to put together, and it rolls smoothly

5/5

It's also of good quality. It's easy to store because it's so small. If you need to store a motor in a tight space that's easy to move and don't need to flip it over, this is a great option. I've bought two of these and will probably buy a third. I could have easily made my own, but the time and effort were well worth it.

It's a breeze to move an engine with this! Assembling it is fairly straightforward

5/5

The only suggestion I have is to double-check that your hardware kit contains all of the necessary components. It wasn't a big deal, but two of the angle brackets were missing from mine. Speedway took care of me on it, so I'm not giving it a low rating. (In my photo, I believe I have mine mounted backwards, but it appears to work either way. ).

Not pleased with the situation

3/5

The purchase did not meet my expectations. The right-hand side mount was well-made and finished. The left side mount was not finish sanded before painting, is a different color red than the right side, looks like it was painted 10 feet away with a half empty rattle can, the welds are trash, and appears to be a different height and angle than the right side; I feel like I got one side from a reputable source, and the other from a knockoff China brand.

Without a support for the transmission, the engine and transmission will not be supported together

3/5

We purchased this stand in order to install our transmission on the engine block because it supports the engine from the block's engine mount locations. It works fine as a stand-alone engine stand, but it won't support both the block and the transmission at the same time, so we had to support them together with blocks of wood under the transmission pan to keep the transmission tail shaft from hitting the floor. Based on another reviewer's opinion, I assumed it could handle both the transmission and the engine. My grade is a 6. The engine is a 0 LQ9 and the transmission is a 4L65E. I hope this has been of assistance.

The visual quality isn't particularly good, but it gets the job done

3/5

So far, everything has gone well, but the visual quality is poor. One is powder coated in a gloss red and appears to be professionally done. The other appears to be a 9-year-old's garage attempt at a matte red. The matte red is peeling off as well. It will do the job if you don't care about how it looks, but if you're building a table, you'll need to factor in the cost of a new powder coat or paint job.

It should perform admirably for the purpose for which it was designed

5/5

I discovered a small area where some paint had chipped away, but it doesn't bother me nearly as much as it does some people. The photos they shared, of course, showed larger spots than mine. I wish it was a little less expensive, but it's probably better than anything else out there for an LS motor, and it'll get beat up anyway in the garage.

I enjoyed it so much that I purchased a second

5/5

It's great for moving around engines that I haven't yet seen! I have an entire pullout 6 that has never been used. 0 is sitting on one of these, which makes it very convenient to slide under a shelf and not take up the space of a full stand. br>br>Bought the second stand so that I could work on finishing the 5. Three of them are currently sitting on my engine stand, which I'm using to swap parts (flexplate to flywheel) and test fit a manual transmission before installing it in the vehicle, which I can't do with a traditional stand that bolts to the transmission mounting surface.
