70 Y/O Country Engine Shop Closing

I hate seeing old places close. Sorry to go OT but the clamps holding the engine block in the picture look really handy any idea what they're called?

I can buy a new factory short block for my alloy nikasil motor for 2 grand, how you gonna compete with that?

The average car is older now than in the age of Cortinas and classic minis, contrary to the owners opinion.

20, 30 years ago, I would walk through the junkyard and see apparently perfectly good cars[nicer than the car I was driving] by the row. probably bad engines.

Cars have always been disposable.

One place I worked at had a little " Burdett " slotter that used those clamps, they're very good. As are the conventional G clamp shaped rack clamps.
