        I've told you guys a million times to quit exagerating!

        Seriously, guys? They're only @ 225 soaking wet. I hope I never crash around you guys because you'll obviously be no help picking me up! lol

        You can live to be 100, as long as you give up everything that would make you want to live to be 100!

          That gooder XJ alternator will run my 'letric winch if you bring the Skyhook.

            Lol, I work-out at the gym every day, and the 750 engine was heavy for me. No way in hell am I going to even attempt lifting the Eleven engine by myself.

              Harbor freight has some rolling engine stands that are ok priced.
              I cut and rewelded two together to make a really nice one for right around $100.

              Then got a similar k&l engine stand for a tabletop that is much less robust but still nice. Unfortunately that one was $200 I think.

                Yeah, I just don't want to spend any real money on something I'll use for a day or two. I guess I'll go with LoHo's advice and create a 2x4 box frame.
