I built a u shaped framework and put castors on the bottom of the "U" This will let you roll the trans/diff back from the motor frt end assembly. Now the front end I built two small "A" frames and welded a tube steel between and bolted in to the holes on the underneath of the nose . Now you must find a way the support the rear end of the engine. I used a steel frame work with brackets to bolt up thru the pan connecting holes. That was a mistake as you must put new gaskets at the rear of the pan after having it split. Mine leakeked badly and I had to remove pan and put new gaskets on.Sorry for the long post but I could not find any pics of splitting stand that would work with the 400,so, fabed my own.tom [Reply]   [No Email]

A piece of angle iron with casters welded to the bottom and nuts welded to the top. Plates with tubes on them bolted with the pan bolts to the block. All-threads with nuts and washers inside the tubes screwed into the nuts on the iron brings it all together. Then I connected it to the front axle with angle iron and a clamp to make it travel together. A jack under the tranny and split pins on the sides and it was ready to split; worked good.---Derrol in Texas--- [Reply]  [No Email]
