<html><body>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!
