JimmiJimboJet and I are in the process of re-building our cars an I will be fabricating most of the specialty tools myself. If anyone else would be interested in specific tool I can post pics and cost for them when they are built



I am going to be making a new complete mounting plate for the engine stand (neck included) and a flywheel holder over the weekend.

It will be made for a 13b and side mounting. I dont know what engine you are running or if the mounting holes would be any different between them. If they are different it wouldnt be any more work to drill different holes.

Well, here is a pic of the Flywheel stopper..just used some stuff I had laying around and its not complete yet. If enough people are interested in it I will use 1-1/2" angle and 1" strap. All material will be 1/4" thick and it will be supplied with its own bolts.

Theirs is a long bar that bolts to the flywheel that either has to be held or rotated till it hits something. Mine is set up to be used in an engine stand or when the motor is mounted in the car. I could include a bar like theirs for 5-10 bucks so you would have some leverage against a ratchet.
