Help a 17 year old with his engine swap!
Alright as the title says, I need help. I am getting ready to order a KL-ZE engine ... but I need a engine stand. If anyone lives around Carroll County Maryland and has an engine stand that I could borrow please PM or e-mail me at Hondo701@Adelphia.net
I will discuss specifics with the person when I am contacted. Thanks in advance.[/url]

Heh.. while this is not an ideal solution.. in a pinch you can use a old tire to set the engine on. I've had to do this a few times and while it wont let you work on the bottom end at all.. for storage till you can get a engine stand.. it would work fine. Also you can check Harbor Freight for various engine stands.. their prices are very reasonable.

This one is pretty heavy duty... but it will give you a general idea..

I'm a 17 year old swapper too.... and well... I used the environment to my advantage. Up here in Marblehead Massachusetts we've had so much snow since the start of my swap that I just dumped the old engine in there (nice and cushy)
How's THAT for hardcore?

FYI, not only do I have an engine stand you can borrow (its kinda bent & a pita to use but will work nonetheless), I also have a spare KL-ZE engine that I'm selling that I bought for a friend with a MX6. He wrecked his car and bailed on me and never paid me for the engine so I'm stuck with this spare engine in my garage that I have no use for.
I"m looking to get what I paid, 800 + sales tax (got it locally from a guy in baltimore who imports engines) so 840 total.
It is a KL31 camshaft "straight-neck" style engine, but I have a spare curved-neck intake manifold that I bought awhile ago that I can trade you for the straight neck manifold that makes the whole thing a direct bolt in for your MX3.
Let me know if you are interested. Also, I can help you out with the swap if you want depending on when you decide to do the swap if you have any questions or anything.

I have that exact lift... 180 bucks at Autozone... the engine stand shouldn't be too much either. I don't think you'll need it though... unless you really wanna baby your B6. I just made a holder thing out of plywood for my BP
