Does anyone have drawings or diagrams of the following:

1. S&S Engine Stand 53-0147 - To build a stand for an **S&S X-Wedge 121 engine**, you must use the **four mounting points on the lower cases** and a **top support brace** connecting the cylinder heads.

2. **top support brace** connecting the cylinder heads for lifting with a hoist. The S&S manual specifies that the top support brace must connect the **3/8”-16 tapped bolt holes** located on top of each cylinder head above the intake port using **7/16” Grade 8 bolts**.

Time to swap engines...

Thank you all for your collective wisdom!

Good luck with the swap!

This is a drawing Bleazey sent me when I asked him. I ended up buying the S&S engine stand.

Socalm3w - thank you so much for this!!!! Another true example of the Bleazey genius at work. Does anyone know if Phil also had a drawing of the top support brace?

I found in my notes there is a YouTube video of Emil’s way of removing the engine. It goes over using a length of rope instead of a metal plate to lift engine. Worked perfectly for me.

I have this and mostly all his other videos also. I like Emil's work and helped him write a number of his modification installation guides. Just hoping the lift bar details were available. Thank you for all your help!

All the X-Wedge engines supplied to Morgan were fitted with a lifting bracket, Morgan removed them and threw them in a scrap box. I was fortunate to get one when I was on a visit to the factory once. It's been used a few times since!

Not being an engineer myself, is there a way to scan it for dimensions?

Thank you Planenut for all your help!

X-Wedge Engine Stand

Here is my progress thanks to so many who contribute. Funny thing is the clutch plate has a note on it saying "Flywheel Side" but is was installed backwards it looked like. Next strep is getting some work done.

I cannot take the credit for the engine stand, just the engine sling bracket....that you didn't use 😁. Good luck with all the work. Always good to see owners working on their cars.
