<VV> Engine without shrouds

Absolutely, Smitty,
 
The lower you keep the center of gravity, the more stable the  system.  The 
bottom rack of a shopping cart is both strong enough and  stable enough for 
the purpose.  In addition, it adds mobility at a  comfortable standing 
height.
 
Now I think there will be a rash of missing carts around Corvair owners'  
neighborhoods.  :-)

Smitty says:  I must be more adventuresome  than most because I tried to 
get a sharp strong running engine on my assembly  stand to turn over.  No such 
luck.  The stand I mention is made from  an old shopping cart complete with 
caster wheels in front.  It supports  the engine about 12 inches from the 
floor.  The point of my experiment  was to see if I could trust it in the 
future.  Nothing wrong with being  careful, but don't ever worry about turning 
one over that is sitting on a  pallet or on the floor.  You can't do it.
