I am looking if someone knows of anyone making or selling for a V8 Ford Flathed the the main brace that is bolted on the exhaust side of the block to hold the engine on the stand. I have one for the V12 engines but I can not use this one for the V8 as the exhaust port are further away. Please let me know.

Thanks !

I made one that holds the engine in the north-south direction instead of cross wise like the exhaust mount one. Made the spacers between the mount plate and bell housing holes long enough to allow flywheel/clutch work but most important is the additional brace from the top of the mount plate to the rear four intake bolt holes. My stand is a four wheel heavy duty one so I don't know if a Harbor Freight one could take it but my head plate is welded to a 3/4 ton spindle and turns in bearings so it's not a problem.
