I had enough stumbling by that big hunk of steel, i mean Buick engine and trans. Unfortunately it is so heavy, that in order to move it i had to use engine lift and two other persons... I had to do something with this. It happened that i had spare shelving donated by my friend. I borrowed a welder from another friend and started making sparks. Frame for the beginning.


Then i invented using what was left of original engine mounts as a new mount, with new rubber.


Thats how it looks put on the frame.




Unfortunately in order to run this engine on the stand i have to do something with this... Carb should be level...


But it wasn't because of trans laying on the frame. I could make longer front mounts, but i wanted the engine to sit quite low.


So i used remains of trans mount as a template.




Making that:


Oil filter persuaded to me that he has too tight space to be in when engine runs. Check.


That welds are making me proud - i am welding second time in my life :)


Thats how it looks finished. Sadly, that wheels are too weak, i have to put stronger ones on. But at least i can move the engine around by myself.
