Theres a scaffold part I have at works that makes a PERFECT adapter to use the Empi Bench Mount engine holder in this stand.

Why spend all the time you work trying to get different parts to work together when you can spend $100 and get something that works great with no hassle like this, http://www2.cip1.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=ACC-C10-1411

Its called a base collar



Theyre chinese import and as a result the large tube fits perfectly into the HF stand bushing and the Empi motor bracket fits inside the small end (I cut it right at the rosette ring)

Why spend all the time you work trying to get different parts to work together when you can spend $100 and get something that works great with no hassle like this, http://www2.cip1.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=ACC-C10-1411

Because this just slides in and is held in place by pins, the HF stand can still be used to hold other motors with it's original motor bracket. So it's more versatile


Great if you have a bench mount already... But Jack is correct if you were buying both
