My new engine stand showed up today. They offered a plastic drip pan for the base so I bought it too. Sadly their info was wrong and it doesn't not fit
Cool,too bad the drip pan was a no go.
Ya, it is actually a nice drip pan but at $80 i don't want to cut it up. The center angled support is what interferes. Would need to cut an additional 6" out of the center to clear that brace. I'm not willing to simply remove the brace either.

NICE FIND! Havent hit his site in a while.. Noticed a couple guys on the MS forum building some dashes for Tunerstudio, but that is top notch. I will stick with analog needles is the car for now, not that I pay much attention to them anyway lol

The new stand is nice and my motor will be back on it this weekend. Need to pull everything out to finish welding everything. Folds up for easy storage too. Has a 1000 lb rating.
Cool,too bad the drip pan was a no go.

I bought my high output alternator from Nations Alternator. https://www.nationsstarteralternator.com/ I could not be happier with it.
Great info and if needed again, I will give them a try. To be honest, I don't truly need 130 amp but they offer it in a case that bolts in to a stock location. My engine came out of an 88 thunder bird or as I affectionately call them.....thunder chickens lol. They were v belts and I pre fer the serpentine belt design. So I bought all the pulleys and mounts off a 1994 Ranger 2.3 n/a and bolted them on. Now Ranger made a belt that bypassed the power steering and a/c system so stock belts , water pumps, belt tensioner, pulleys etc etc are available at any parts store. I could go with a stock 90 amp alt and connect it backvto to ecu but the 1 wire did all I needed with 0 issues. Tried and true works for myself but it does complicate replacements.

Your welding looks dam good for a one eye SB.  Really sucks about the engine flipping over.
Thanks but pics can be deceiving. Getting better though. It does suck about the motor hitting the ground! First wave of parts showed up today. Fingers crossed the rest do in a timely manner.

Also, a thanks to enemy for running his suitcase tig over. You can see it next to the 3 legged worthless pos engine stand in The above pic. Since my frame is now 8" longer, my exh must grow as well. Cut it all up, made the extension, and my tig decided to give me the perverbial finger. Pretty sure the gas line blew off the fitting internally but who knows for sure and I just never liked it. Enemy's Miller is a great tig. I have struggled to learn to weld with my eye injury and that has been challenging but the tig, something about that bright color or having to focus on it more.....not sure but I struggled big time. Luckily its just a tail pipe.
