Ed,
When I did my 3000 engine I did use the three wheeled type of engine
stand. It was quite scary, but if you are very careful, it can be
done. They are rated for that much weight, but when turning the engine,
you need to make sure that it is done slowly and supported so that the
weight stays centered on the single wheel below.
Another concern is if you are moving it around the shop that a wheel
doesn't not hit a stone or something on the floor and stop abruptly and
the weight of the engine take the whole thing over. It is very top heavy.
