OMC 350 on auto engine stand?

[VolleyGirlSC]

Can I put my OMC 5.7L on a normal auto engine stand or should I build something specific?

Yes. I have mine on a HF engine stand now. You will have to remove the coupler and flywheel. I pulled mine with manifolds on and mounted on my HF 1000lb stand. It's been on there for 5 months now. No problems.

Might post your question in the OMC I/O engine forum

But if it's got threaded bungs & your engine stand mounts will adjust to fit their locations & screw into them, I can't see why not

Thank you - we ended up building a stand with some wood we had, it was more up our alley then removing the coupler.
