After we designed and built the top one I took a closer look at the test stand and realised that we could've used the style like in the bottom pic., oh well its good practice. The lower pic is in fact a sbc, that is sitting in our '46 merc and below it you can see the MII crossmember (unfinished) its gonna be pretty standard street rod type stuff - not really any cool hot rod building going on there...

Nice work by the kids! Does the engine stand need that sort of fitting on it?



Hey! Is that a Scrub valve cover on your y-block?

Best regards,

Here is one of the mounts the kids made to mount the yblock in our test stand. One student did some design on (I think) AutoDesk and a couple others used the ironworker to make a few of the pieces. Its alittle too wide and kinda crude but it'll do for the test stand. The mounts we'll make to mount the engine into the T will be similar to the standard street rod type that use the biscuit for cushion...

this is the style we will build to mount it in the T...
