Hey Folks,
Long time fan of Welding Tips and Tricks.com and Jodi's awesome skills as both a welder and an instructor. My latest project is shown below. I had to fab up a mounting bracket to attach the HV-12 Flathead engine to my HD turnover stand, for it's rebuild. Nothing fancy just welded up some 1/2 plate steel. I had to design something to mount the engine by the exhaust ports because trying to mount it conventionally from the bellhousing wouldn't work because these old flattys only had a 1/2 bellhousing that's cast as part of the block, and with all that weight hanging on it fracture failure was sure to render it as scrap.
Next thing I need to learn is how to do some cast iron welding as there are some intake manifold mounting bosses on the block that need repair.
Thanks, and it's great to be here learning from the best in the business.
