<p>I seem to remember years back a couple gentleman cutting up a
Healey 6 cyl block to make casts for an aluminum block build for a
race car. IIRC... the oem was something in the order of 700 lbs.
The aluminum one came in around half (or less) of that.�� So in my
view, ANY engine is fine on these stands if it can handle a 700
lbs healey block sticking so far our 4's and 6's are just fine!</p>
<p>...think mine came from Pep Boys on sale... (two wheel up front
version)<br>

<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.�
