Default Engine Stand - 4 bolt LT5

What is a good fitting engine stand that allows the motor to swivel / tilt that bolts right up to the LT5?

I sucked it up and bought one from napa, It rotates 360 degrees cost like $250 or something like that but im all about spending money to make sure the motor wont fall, the stand is good up to 1000lbs

I can't tell you if it's any good, as I haven't used it yet, but claims up to 1,000 lbs. with 360 degree rotation. Also haven't checked fit...but intention is for an LT5, and $60 was too good to pass up.

The one from napa actuall has a geared crank you turn so you can turn it to any angle within the 360 degrees
