- This video shows you how to build a engine stand engine rotator using a Harbor Freight 1 Ton (2000 pound) engine stand and some cheap, and simple to obtain, parts.
I just shared this video on the Ford Truck Enthusiasts forum...

I'm late the to part Opa but very well done. This is a great idea and you explained it well!
Great Job! Even if you don’t work on heavy engines this is a nice feature to add to an engine stand. I’m 68 years old and mainly work on small block Chevrolets and some 4 cylinder engines but either way my hands and arms would appreciate this addition to my engine stand. I have a friend who services tractors and trailers and I’ll check with him for an S cam and slack adjuster. Thanks!
You're welcome
This is a great idea for an engine stand I just picked up a 427 Chevy tall block industrial application that weighs in at 750 lbs currently I plan on shaving some wheat off by using aluminum intake and head's from a 454 I know this is something I would not be able to rotate by myself so thank you for the best idea I've seen and the great tutorial always nice to learn options especially the differences between a few types of adjusters. Great video.
Great Great Great Video. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very nice. I appreciate the details, especially of heavy duty brake parts which I am not familiar with. Attempting to mount an engine to a stand now which lead me to this video for tips. Now I want a rotating stand...thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Great video, great idea.
this is great instruction and description....thank you
I need one of these like NOW! I've tore down a few 7.3's on that exact engine stand. After bending the handle with a cheater, I started using my chain hoist to assist with the rotation by wrapping a chain under the engine to the opposite side engine mount. Still kinda dicey! I'm getting ready to assemble a 7.3 whose block and heads just came back from the machine shop. I guess I need to drive into Macon and make the rounds to find the parts. I'll be painting it all up and don't want to mess that up with a chain.
Do a review on your Matco 1500lb rotating stand
Very good job I've been trying to figure out how to make it work on this exact engine stand and a slack adjuster

Great job and great instructions. Any chance I can buy one off you?
I would sell you 1 but I use both of them.
Nice job
Can you tell me slack adjuster and other rod name in writing
Here is a link to a slack adjuster that will work. It isn't the exact slack that I used but it has the same features.
