How about a B-series adapter plate for an engine stand. Would make it so much easier putting our blocks on the stands. Simply bolt the plate up to the block and slide it onto the stand.

 

kind of takes away from the purpose of buying an engine stand dont you think?

just get some nice variety for nuts n bolts and your good.

 

no it makes it easier if 90% of your work is on B-series motors

 

it takes 10 minutes tops to get the legs bolted up and the motor on the stand its never taken me longer than 10 minutes with any motor, and anybody that uses engine stands alot are probably shops and most shops do alot more than just b's

 

well my shop does mostly b-series work so it would be cool to have such a thing. Besides if you dont have anything of importance to contribute to the thread, then keep your mouth shut. Get your own thread to hijack!

 

Once you set up your engine stand once you shouldn't have any problems. I deal mainly with B-series and it works great for me.

 

I was going to do a similar thing but for a 4g63. It could be a tad bit more sturdy IMO

 

Worthless.

Once you tighten the legs on the stand, you can take it on and off no problem. You don't have to line up anything again.

I didnt hijack ****, like other people said once its on one b and everythings tightened down theres your b adapter or weld the legs it saves time and money its stupid to make something from scratch it cost money for the metal and time by welding or cnc'ing everything.
If it was practical it would have been done years ago i could see making something solid for a big block or something but honda motors are not that heavy.

Bseries adapter plates are definitely overkill for this application. What's the problem with just adjusting the sh*t. Hell, buy engine stands just for B's and like this dude said, weld the legs.

Fabbers around here didn't think of this because it's not worthy of being thought of....worst thread I've seen in a while. This topic absolutely sucks.

I build production parts for a living. I don't build one-offs unless they are mock-ups or for myself. From where I stand, what he wants would be both easy to make and very helpful.

Just throwing it out there. Many of us do the same job over and over again, or design production environments to do so.

I don't understand how it would be helpful. My engine stand stays setup for B series blocks 90% of the time. Bolting the part that came with my engine stand to the motor takes the exact same amount of time as it would to bolt a different adaptor.

thank you somebody else that understands the internet, we have about 6 stands at our shop usually one or 2 are setup for b series 1 for 4g63's and usually one for 3sgte's because those are the 3 main engines we build and the others are for odd ball stuff that we do sometimes like k's and 3kgt motors etc.

 

When I was doing 914's, a friend of mine used an old transmission bell housing to fab up a stand on his work bench...it's just like bolting the engine up to a tranny. He even set it up to where we could run engines on the stand before putting them into the car.

Exactly my point. You could have a couple stands just for B-sereis. The legs will stay tight you simply unbolt it from one and bolt it it on another.


It makes no sense.

i thought the same thing

 

Well, i will admit making something like this would probably be overkill, since it is easy to just leave the engine stand set up for a b-series motor, but I can think of several reasons it could be useful.

First, it might be nice to have it use some sort of quick-connect, instead of bolts. I dont know how often people are swapping blocks on and off of the stand, but if it was just a matter of pulling a lever to attach and release a motor, it might end up being kind of useful.

Second, it would be nice to space the engine out a little bit more from the stand, so that you could actually get a torque wrench inbetween the two, for torquing that seal housing down, and possibly even for torquing the flywheel and clutch. It woud be nice to not have to pull the motor off the stand and set it on the ground just to attach these two things.

its cuz b series motors break, u should go D!

 

i want to this guys house to pick up a 305 motor for my s10 andtoo my amazement in his garage i seen a dseries on a custom built engine stand designed to hold the complete motor by the motor mounts, i though it was pretty cool. i guess it could also be used for b series
