Running an Engine outside the vehicle
Sorry to dissappoint, no Youtube, and I'm thinking I'll replace the steel castor wheel with a length of 4x4 and a coach bolt that can swivel out as a support. Thanks to all for their concern, in what ever form it took :D- Burban

Running an Engine outside the vehicle
And now I think about it, this will let me move the engine into the garage to work on, as I can't get the front loader in here. Just put the stand outside, bring the engine over, and wheel it in, cool. For anyone in the future looking at this, the key is to search for engine cradle, not engine...- Burban

Running an Engine outside the vehicle
See, this is why I attached the prices, yes $200 is too much for me to spend on something I'm gonna use once. I might as well just bolt it in the truck and hope i works, but V8's are such a awkward design to work on, I figured I might fire it up before hand. Your stand looks lovely, but I don't...- Burban

Running an Engine outside the vehicle
Hmm, maybe I'm missing that, or it's in the box of parts the guy gave me. I do have the big 386 page training manual on the engine, in PDF form. Maybe I should sweet talk the wife into printing it out for me, and installing it in the tech library (bathroom). I think I need to put on the flex...- Burban

Running an Engine outside the vehicle
6-2-diesel by Burban posted Feb 8, 2019 at 2:23 PMSo after a year or more of looking, I finally found a 6.2 for cheap. It was from a K30 that had been running but was let sat for a year, and then they couldn't start it, so they yanked it and put in a 350. So before I stick it in the truck, I...- Burban

How Tall is a 6.2
Just to update: I made life easier on myself and rented a van, which due to circs, I ended up getting for gratis, plus the seller threw in a lot of the other necessary stuff, so I got flex plate, torque converter, new starter, I wonder if I have the hydro pump thing for the steering? So come the...- Burban

How Tall is a 6.2
Are you thinking of a Prius? I think they have a 7-800lb max limit. The 6.2 is only 700lbs? Sure I'd be happier if I was 50lbs lighter, but who wouldn't :D- Burban
