[Healeys] Engine stand

[Michael MacLean]

 What does the 4 cylinder engine weigh?  Harbor Freight has a 700 lb capacity engine stand for $60.  How do you attach the 4 cylinder engine to the stand?  I find myself having time lately to assemble the engine of my BN2.  Short block is finished.  Need to put the head and the rest before dropping it in the car.

I recently bought another from O'reillys auto parts on sale for less than $200 delivered free.. it's an AC Delco pro series. 4 legs, 6 casters, 2 ton. front legs removable easily for compact storage.. I promptly hung a Jag 6 cyl on it...with grade 8 bolts... dp

A quick one. Do you think that this stand is man enough for a 3000’s engine?

Got to be a decent thing and, on four wheels, presumably stable. But, but…..our engines are long and heavy.
 
What does the team think?
 
Thanks,
 
Simon
