So I realized that I have 2 engine stands and the only handle I have to turn the engines over is the same one I use for my engine hoist which is a little on the short side for turning over a BBC so I measured the OD and went to Lowes and bought 1/2" galvanized pipe and cut them at 30" and 36" and then ordered a couple grip handles from Ebay for $4.
I also notched the end of the 30" in case I want to use it on the hoist and I just happened to have a can of red paint on hand, I don't know why I didn't do this sooner but in my defense I have always built one engine at time but I am currently building two. .
