Summit stand as promised. This is the Crane Cams, dyckies apparel Summit stand.
Colorado was right. I liked this stand so much we got another ahead of my neighbor bringing over his all aluminum tall deck BBC, out of his Ray Miller 4 link dragger.
Pickup fell off, hopefully the crank ain't blue and I can put a Billet Melling pump in it, bearings and send it. It don't matter either way though, I can fix her up, no sweat.

No Sir, but they're the hot ticket. Nice stand.
I like em both. This one is super nice now after a few mods, worm gear, welded drive gear and the shims.
The Summit has incorporated a lot of space behind the engine, allowing the ability to bolt the flex plate to the engine, after laying the crank in the engine. It's also a taller stand by 3-4".
Both approach being pro stands, with a few mods on the JEGS stand, no big deal.
Hein Werner is some of the best shop equipment you can buy hands down. Had one of their 6K Lb engine stands. For the big engines. Still have a OTC trans jack for the big transmissions. Takes 2 men to lift it. Back then when steel was real steel. Now you really don't know the real integrity of the steel you get with equipment.This message has been edited. Last edited by: TD3550,

One is an NMW and very sturdy and probably 35 years old
I bought a brand new NMW from Ask Frank First in 1988 I now have five of them I bought a bunch used during the good old Etown swap meet days for nothing. The ugly orangish color is the dead give away. I've had steel headed complete big blocks with a/c on them with confidence !!!! I use a 4' torsion bar for rotation ease, no ***** ass crank needed

My NMW has had numerous all iron BB’s and Dart and World Products iron blocks with Big Duke heads and never Peeped !
A simple bar turns it over at the mounting lugs and the squeeze bolt lock arrangement will hold the block in any position you need it to be in
Everything NMW built was good quality.
Built in the same building as Tony Feil’s shop and where Randy first started. Pro Start and eventually Half Scale
NMW was originally in north jersey but ended up in Raritan with differnt owners I believe.
I was there when robot welders were running behind screens talking to Randy. Wondering why I saw no one running the welder. Randy fixed some things for me and told me about the automated welding that NMW had
I think those NMW stands were less than $200 new when they were still making them.
OTC was the best automotive equipment back in the old days when I was a flat rater at a GM dealership. Very HD tools and automotive equipment
