Anyone know of a good motor stand for v8 flathead,the one mine is sitting on sits on the oil pan,and i want to take the pan off.any suggestions.
 
I just bought a cheap heavy duty engine stand and fabbed up a plate the bolts to the exhaust holes. I then welded it to a tube that fit inside the tube in the stand. Works great unless you have the exh manifolds attached. There are folks who sell that exh plate.

cut the pipe to 45 deg and weld it up, make sure you have the plate right side up, just tack it to make sure.
 
Saw a nice run stand at local swap meet . It was the front frame of a 1 1/2 ton truck. Radiator and the works, Newc

This is my Flathead Engine Stand and I find it very useful. Notice in the first picture with the Engine in the Stand, there is a Pin that you can lock the Engine in 4 different locations, so you can turn it upside down to work on the Bottom End, or you can lock it in so that you can easily mount the Flywheel and Clutch Plate. The Motor is very well attached on both side that really give it good support with no chance of damaging the Block.
 
cradle stands are the go but lots of luck finding one and then getting them to part with it is another mountain you need to climb as a lot of them where converted into truck diff rebuild stands and are the bees knees for that job
