thanks gazz for the stencils, got them today. I get my engine back next week so they,ll come in very handy

Once you made the rotisserie, how did you get the car up on it? how many people does it take to turn it?

No Probs rick

I can turn it by my self I can send the dimensions if ya want cost me roughly $300

I used an engine crane and 4 ton ratchet straps to hold it, slow and steady

Very simple really, mine is off the the twirler this week

Have a look at my picks Ya could trim the extractor holes up a bit? Cut them smaller at first.
