I finished the install last night using Garn's idea of the 1" black iron pipes. I have to say installing a 1000 engine that weighs in excess of 200 pounds is not an easy task. I had the assistance of my next door neighbor which was a tremendous help. The engine was all together. I wrapped the frame with pipe insulation to prevent scratcheing the paint. I found this to be the hardest part of the build so far. Thanks Garn for your insite and great idea.

if you are repainting your frame if found the easiest way to reassemble is to lay motor on its side on top of a rug and lay the bare frame over top and bolt motor back in then assemble everything else;)
