I would have little to no problem saying no on that.Because I don't have enough unfinished projects...for $650 I couldn't say no.

Does the Sunex have a lock on it to hold the engine at the angle you wat it, and have you tried to flip it yet? I am not sure the stand is wide enough to carry the weight but it seems like a good set up.Pulled the engine and trans/transfer today and got them both on engine stands.
The stand holding the engine is a Sunex that rotates with a hand crank on a gear box so it’ll be easy to access all parts of the motor.
Standby for assessment of ghetto hack jobs that are going to be repaired.

EDIT: I just found it at Northern. Is this the 1000 lb version? It answered my question of staying put. Thanks
You've opened the belly of the beast. Pay heed.Funny thing is, everything worked fine before I pulled the motor.
Thats what happens when you take a cruiser to a shop that doesn't understand cruisers. Most mechanic shops do not realize that you can still buy parts for a 40 from the dealer or a cruiser specialty parts place. They call up napa and when it doesn't show up on the computer they go into to hack/ make it work mode. At least they used metric bolts.OK, after pulling the motor, initial assessment of the hack jobs lurking under the hood of my 40 include:
- busted tooth on the flywheel
- broken bell housing that was welded back together and is missing a bolt on the motor mount
- bent and modified power steering pump bracket
- intake/exhaust manifold held together with incorrect hardware store bolts
- throttle linkage plate made out of welded washers
Awesome. Good thing I bought an entire spare 2F engine/trans off Craigslist last year for $600. I should be able to piece together one good drive train.

Nope, the stock carb linkage still works.First time I've ever seen air rail fittings welded shut!!!!! Were/are you running a cable for carb linkage?
