So,mind changed. Not going for a steel stand. For now,I just built a wooden one. Very basic but enough to ease stripping the old paint off the block. Not sure yet how I'm going to go with the new paint. 2 component high temp epoxy is looking good at the moment. No need to heat cure it,which gets rid of that problem.Either way, It dawned on me that hanging the engine (for painting) is maybe better than having it on a stand.
Anybody have experience with the 2 component engine paint?

Re: Engine stand
12 Oct 2026 12:00I REALLY want to make that factory style stand.... VERY COOL!A member here was fabricating & selling a bench stand very similar to that one ~15 yrs. ago. Completely adjustable for a wide variety of motors. Rotates. Breaks down easily for comapct storage. We bought one & have been satisfied with it for Z1 motors. Don't remember price or user name. A cursory KZR search doesn't find it, but we'll keep looking.
This is the stand the KZR member fabricated w / Z1 bottom end mounted. We see The Lovely Z1BEBE, a.k.a. the shop's resident Torque Monster while in one of her preferred habitats, gently fondling case bolts to their proper torque.
Just for tool junkie giggles, here we see stand kits offered by Mama Kaw in the day. The PN's don't come up in any retail documentation we've ever read, only distributor news docs not generally available to the public. We've never seen any in the flesh.
Good Ridin'
