I also have the Harbor Freight engine stands.  Three of them.  Have rebuilt TR3 
engines on them.  I modified two of them for use as a rotisserie for working on 
frames and body tubs, by welding rotating casters on the stationary side.  All 
I have to do is flip the square tube around for use as an engine stand.
