This subject brought to mind an Engine Stand my father built for inline Chevy sixes and others. It had two triangular structures with 2 wheels on the bottom that held up each side of the engine. The top of each triangle had a pipe section that let the engine rotate nose over tail. Two plates were bolted to the oil pan holes on each side of the engine with welded pipes attaches and sized to fit onto the pivot pipes on the top of the triangular sides. Once the engine was attached to the stand it could be rolled around and the top and bottom of the engine could be worked on easily. Only negative was you could not attach the oil pan until the stand was detached. Just a fond memory.
