I need to buy an engine stand. How much does a fully built LS1 and LS3 weigh?

i don't know the weight of an Ls1 or 3 but it has to be considerably less than a iron block/headed sbc/bbc that have hung from the average $100 stand for nearly 50 years.

most decent stands have a 1000lbs capacity or greater.

Do you think this will work:

1000 Pound Capacity Engine Stand


It is from Harbor Freight ...

i prefer the two leg design with additonal bracing on the post.

now you have me looking at new stands. never used these geared ones but they look nice, a bit pricey, but nice...

this seems a nice piece too for the money

my stand is probably 20 years old.
