...picked up the 3.0L beast today. Nice to meet you mate... another face to a name 

Got the lump in the garage now. is it ok that its sitting on the sump? I don't really have any other way to support it

Slightly inferior to the 3.2 but it'll do I suppose.

I do hope you have a AR35 box with that Mr Bear because the AR25 off the 2.5 / 2.6 will die pretty sharpish if you don't 

[Webby the Bear]

Yep, already aware I need a few things. . . GB, cams, inlet divider etc. going to glean them over the next little while as n when I can afford them and / or when they're available.

So, this engine ok to sit on its sump for a while?

Can't see why not but you could knock up a frame to support it while you work on it, just to relieve the weight on the sump and stop it from tipping over.

Good first welding project .. engine cradle. Pick up off the engine mount bolt holes and a couple of the bell housing bolt holes.

Probably not worth your time and material.

I'm guessing the reason for suggesting making an engine stand isn't all about saving time/money - more the experience gleaned from making an engine stand, and also the satisfaction of looking at something, and thinking 'I made that'. 

[Webby the Bear]

Yeah, it prob wouldnt be worth it..... but fun making it
