That would look awesome!!

Bust the pistons apart with a impact hammer and get it over with. Then send it off to the machine shop to have them bore it for new clean cylinders and have them work their magic on the rest of it as well

Just take it apart? Are you just trying to turn it by the crank? With all the birds nests in there i would just start tearing it down to the bare block.

Is your stand just bolted together? Can you weld it together to make it stronger, maybe put some cross bars or something?? Idk don't know what kinda stand you got

It's a 1250lb stand and my block I'd supposed to only weigh 750 but it has it sagging pretty bad, and the little pin that's supposed to keep it from spinning, doesn't work very well either so it has an inch or so of spinning play

You got any info on how they back light them? I'm either going to back light the bars with amber LED's or run 3 amber LED strips across the face.

You can pull the glass/pc lens off and take the chrome reflector piece out and then put the led strips around the boarder of the light then reassemble
