When you own engine of different sizes and need to service them, most painful part is to fix them, I rigged up couple of them, the one i used regularly fitted only engine upto 0.52 size The side i rigged upto traditional mount, mount holes became a issue and it couldn't take frequent removal and fitment so was born this project.
Inspired by Ron Sexton's stand, added a few mods of my own
Anyone interested in the dimensions etc pen it down here I shall post them, else picture speaks a thousand words. Vibration isolation is neat there is little or no vibration on the box i rigged it

This one holds engine from 0.46 to 1.80 or more, this particular one has already seen 9 engines testing and run in
ASP 1.20 and ASP 75 FS is shown below

I am also attaching Magnum Engine manual (Erstwhile name of ASP i guess), as per the manual clamping engine onto a vice is not be done. Improperly done it could crack the mount base. So if you are DIYing this mount special care needs to be take on two accounts (a) Pinch place to be 90 deg to the axis and (b) Do not overtighten it
