LS ENGINE STAND MOD
After using all kinds of braces and straps to secure 5 bolt bell housing LS blocks to an engine stand, we ended up making a 3/8” thick steel plate that spans the area where the bolt hole is missing and drilling it to take the engine stand arm that was shortened the same 3/8”. We also made a spacer to make the shortened arm back to it’s original length when using it on standard blocks. We keep the spacer zip tied to the arm to prevent loss.
