I would definatly get the 200lb. stand:PITTSBURGH AUTOMOTIVE

	2000 lbs. Capacity Foldable Engine Stand(322)

	$13499Compare to Strongway 47032 at $219.99. SAVE $85.00The head is
still whimpy and I would add some additional web bracing to the back
of the block and support under the front (wood block). I don't know
who rates this stuff, but its like the 2 ton floor jack that folds
like a cheap suit, when used. You get what you pay for, but in this
case, safety is more important. If that block drops onto your foot
when you roll it; forget your engine and your foot. Hank

 I take it back. Harbor Freight sells a 750lb capacity stand for $50.
The $60 stand has a capacity of 1000lbs and they have one with folding
legs that will hold 2000lbs for $135. The four cylinder engine can't
be over 750 pounds?Mike MacLean56 BN260 Bugeye69 MGB GT

 Its heavy! I built my engine stand years ago out of 1/4" tube stock
but I still put a wood brace under the engine while it was on the
stand. (photo) It sat on that stand for 40+ years until I got around
to finishing the car, so I know it did the job...lightweights might be
questionable-work safe! Hank

 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.

	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,
