<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">I purchased an engine stand from Harbor Freight, mounted our Ford van's V6 engine on it and used that setup to disassemble, rebuild and reassemble the entire engine. No issues.
Even though the V6 has a cast steel block with aluminum heads and aluminum intake manifold, it is still a lot of weight and I had zero issues with the engine stand. Very stable and easy to roll around. Now planning to use the same stand to rebuild the TR3's
engine.
