Alternately, I have a heavy workbench that I could mount the engine stand base to. Doesn't seem as convenient as the rolling stand. Thoughts?

I'd appreciate any recommendations on yoke/stand setups.

Thanks,

We used the adapter ring (half ring) and HF engine stand - some added pipe, bolts and nuts - worked fine for a 964 disassembly - a lot less expensive than the yoke you are thinking of buying - ring from Pelican "Engine Stand Adapter Ring for Porsche and VW air-cooled engines" - enjoy your project . . .
