Making a Flathead engine stand adapter

Today in the shop, we finally get the 59A off the floor and safely mounted on the engine stand.

Is a mount attached to the exhaust better than the bell housing area?

[@TheHotRodWorkshop]

For these engines it’s highly recommended since the bellhousing is integrated with the block.

@@TheHotRodWorkshop Ok, thank you!

Is the round pipe schedule 40 or 80?

[@TheHotRodWorkshop]

I opted for sch. 40 since the original engine stand mount pipe size was similar. It worked well, but wouldn’t be a bad idea to go 80
