Aircooled VW and Porsche-Engine Stand Yoke Adapter
Heavy-Duty Engine Stand Yoke Adapter for Air-Cooled VW & Porsche Engines
Upgrade from flimsy import stands and securely support your $4,000+ air-cooled VW or Porsche engine with this precision-engineered yoke adapter.
🔹 Built for Strength – Crafted from 1/4” laser-cut steel plate and laser-cut tubing, fully welded using a high-power 220V welder for maximum durability.
🔹 Perfect Fit & Compatibility – Designed for a 2 3/8” tube engine stand, making it compatible with older Harbor Freight engine stands and most standard V8 portable engine stands.
🔹 Enhanced Stability & Rotation – Our tab-and-slot design ensures exceptional strength, preventing sagging while allowing smooth 360° rotation, even under full load.
🔹 Full Engine Assembly Access – Unlike 3-arm stands, this 4-arm design provides unrestricted access for full engine builds, making it easy to install cylinder tins and components on VW Type 1, Type 4, Porsche 356, and 912 engines.
🔹 Shipped Bare Steel – Arrives ready for customization, so you can paint it any color you like.
Upgrade your engine stand with unmatched strength and functionality—engine work has never been this stable or accessible!
These WILL NOT fit the newest (2024) Harbor Freight 1000lbs, or 2000lbs stands. They made the top tube much smaller on the new version. PLEASE MEASURE YOUR TUBE DIAMETER BEFORE ORDERING. These have a 2 3/8" tube.
This engine stand yoke will not work with the short extra tube rotating handle that comes with some of the V8 style stands. The handle is unnecessary on a lightweight VW or Porsche engine, and you can just use the engine itself as a handle. A fully dressed engine will still rotate easily without the short tube handle.
If you are looking to buy a new portable engine stand, I have ordered one of these, and they are ideal. Well made, a nice wide base, and you can fit a lift cart under it to get the engine off the stand
