I bought the cheap stand from harbor freight, and the bench mount type the
busdepot or others sell.....I took the 2 two a welder and had him weld me a
killer vw engine stand.  I can pmail pics of it.  All in all i have $100 in
it, and it has built many an engine.

> I am looking into purchasing an engine stand for my 1982 AC westy.  I am
trying to figure out if I need to buy one specifically made for VW engines
(like the ones Bus Depot and CIP carries) or if any old universal engine
stand will work.  If I am going to spend the money I would like to get one
that I can use with my other vehicles as well.  Do the standard universal
style engine stands work well for VW engines?
