<VV> ENGINE STAND for CORVAIR motor work.

[Frank DuVal]

I too use the Harbor Freight 1000 lb hydraulic table to move engines 
up/down and around the shop.

I bought it after tearing a bicep loose lifting a Corvair engine one 
spring. That tearing noise is one I never want to hear again! I had it 
reattached, so tearing it again is possible.
