Why is there no threads on the exhaust manifold to thread the nut for the tail pipe. I am learning new things every day. Want to know this too. Frank

Congrats!
Actually, I'm amazed with the engine stand and the hoist loops.

Beautiful. Gives me hope that one day I'll be able to say the same thing.
Just give me time to Rust and I'll be good as new. :) Wabi-Sabi

The engine stand I made from scrap wood I had in my workshop and garage. The engine seemed to be getting too heavy for the regular engine stand after I installed the crank case so I made this one before working on installing the hogshead. The lifting eyes were a gift from a good friend.
