			This debate will never end.
 Ill chuckle about it the next time I mount an engine on my 20 year old universal engine stand. Oh, oops my completed 2.2 race motor is on the stand now.
 
 I cant remember what the cost of the stand I bought 20 yrs ago was, but it has had Porsche engines, various outboard powerheads, my old toyota truck engine,  and  various other mechanical devices built on it.
 
 did I  get my  moneys worth out of that purchase years ago? hell yea...
 
 what prompted the purchase of universal stand?
 the insane cost of the "factory" yoke!!!!! the diff in prices can buy  you a gasket kit and  bearings..  perhaps more.
 
 will I build another 911 engine on my universal stand HELL YEA!!!
 
 just take a piece of 2x4 and support the end of the case till you have the case bolted together, and can connect the remaing 2 arms of the universal stand..
 
 its not to hard to  make use of tools you already have... just takes some  imagineering..
