Engine stands
Has anyone had any experience, good or bad, with these rotating type engine stands?

Have been using mine for years with no problem, held my 454 and a couple of 327's as well. No need to spend the big bucks, shop around or watch for sales, I think I paid about $75 a few years back. There are alot of them out there and they all work fine. Just make sure you get one with the wider stance at the front.

Mine is from Harbor Freight and has the splayed front legs. No crank but I don't think it is necessary. I put some grease on that bore and it turns easily even with my Mopar A engine. They also had a nice drip pan to go underneath it. Very handy. 2000lb capacity.
