> Hey folks, > > I am looking into purchasing an engine stand for my 1982 AC westy. I am trying to figure out if I need to buy one specifically made for VW engines (like the ones Bus Depot and CIP carries) or if any old universal engine stand will work. If I am going to spend the money I would like to get one that I can use with my other vehicles as well. Do the standard universal style engine stands work well for VW engines? > > Thanks, > Jake > > > --------------------------------- > Do you Yahoo!? > New Yahoo!
