Your welding is great! Gussets are a good idea for strength and rigidity. You can have a career as a welder ahead, you have the skills, I encourage you to pursue the training. Many places will pay your way through school. Show them the stand you made and you will be in! Nice job Omar!
Love your attention to detail. Your welds look fine. Hope you have a good home security. Would be a shame for some viewer to snag the engine after all your hard work.
Nice looks like its going to work well for you. You may want to consider putting a couple of triangle reinforcing plates on the aft mount down at the base.
Outstanding driveway engineering right there! Nice looking run stand; really looking forward to you turning the key. Thanks for your time posting this one.
It sure will be a lot easier to put back in the inside valve springs after cam break in if you went with a flat tappet cam, then it would be down in the car especially around the brake booster.
Could you do an in-depth video of removing an older engine from a car,dealing with workers at the junkyard and specific tools you use? Most videos like that on RU-vid are LS engines. Thanks for all the cool videos.
Hey Anthony, I plan on buying a ford 351 Windsor at the junkyard. I’m sure I’ll make a video on it, just waiting for one to pop up. I think it would be cool to run it on the stand and see if it will work.
Good job ! That’s a nice engine stand in a fraction of the cost to buy one. I can’t believe I just found your website I’ve been watching Ford stuff for a couple of years now as I’m getting back and working on my fords . I have a triple black 64 and a 1970 f100 .Good job Omar . I saw your video on Pomona check out Turlock if you have the time this next year is usually pretty good I found a lot of stuff there over the years👍
Nice Omar. Are you going to add a radiator and fan so you can give it a good test run. Most camshafts require around 20 to 30 minutes at around 2000rpm to break in correctly.
