<VV> Cylinder Barrel Work Bench

[BBRT]

Look in the old Corvair Bibles of How to Hot Rod Corvairs or How To Keep 
Your Corvair Alivve...One of those, in the back showed drawings how to make 
a simple bench-like affair wiht holes in it to place a case half on and then 
install a crank and cam. The rasied lower side allowed the the other half 
case to be installed and torqued together while resting on the support.
