2.0l engine stand??

[Josh.Hignight@phoenix.edu (Josh Hignight)]

Excellent idea! 

Wish I had thought of that before I put a tranny in my trunk and stained my
carpet.

If you're worried about spilling fliuds go down to your hardware store and
buy a 150 liter rubbermaid bin for 10bucks and put the motor in that. plus
it'll give the added bonus of lifting handles...  some raggs underneath
everything ( inside and outside the bin) wouldn't be a bad idea either...
