    Anyone out there have the measurements and or a template they can email me for a 85hp 24 stud Flathead Ford engine stand adaptor? I would just go measure it myself but if I pull the engine I'm going to want to put it on a stand hence the problem, that and I'm incredibly lazy. lol Thanks.

    I bought a pair of those cheap exhaust flanges, welded them together, welded a tube onto that & it slides right into my stand. Simple, minimal measuring, and the bolt holes all line up.

    Not mine but a nice HD piece. You can get the bolt spacing from a stock cast iron manifold.

    Check the 'bay. Guy on there sells 'em. For the time and effort, it is worth it.

    And as everyone else- used the exhaust manifold as a template.
