Dragsinger, We made a stand like this from a stripped Camaro/Nova Subframe. After stripping it of everything but the motor mounts and the trans crossmember, we sandblasted it and then we positioned it ofer some cheapie (Harbor Freight) jackstands. We then put a stripped out block and trans case onto the frame with an intake manifold sitting on it. Then we took a level and set it on the carb surface and adjusted the jackstands until the thing was pretty level. Once everything was set, we welded the jackstands in place. After that, we installed an old Impala radiator onto it and a console was built out of 1 inch square tubing. I think one of my old friends still uses this thing 30 years later! Good luck!
