    yeah i had a cheapie $40 stand that works great. as long as it is adjustable for where the bolts go, and it rotates (so you can get to bottom end easy) you really can't go wrong. and I doubt you will find one thats not strong enough to hold an a20.

    Re: Engine Stand

    I picked up the engine stand today at pepboys paid 39 dollars for it which is cool my friend works there and she gives me her employee discount whenever she's on the registar.
    Next I have to get my friends cherry picker so I can pull the engine out..
    Thats the same one I got

    Re: Engine Stand

    Messy says your looking for a burgandy dash and mine is burgandy the extra honda has a black/creme dash so if i use that one in mine my seats wont match...hmmm dont you have creme colored prelude seats... (j/k)
    don't you still have the stock seats and if so what condition are they in...
    talk about it later not too sure about interior swap yet...

    Re: Engine Stand

    I needed the stand so I could roll the engine around.
    I dont plan on rebuilding the engine right away, just gonna take my time and do a slow buildup on it.
    But thats a good idea for a cherry picker

    I hope them welds are good & that is some thick metal on that homemade engine lift. I need to drink a few more to work with that thing.
