Default Engine stand

I gonna buy an engine stand for my 454 and the engine stand that I've found takes max 450 kg. How much does it weight with iron heads?¨ :cheers:

Great, that was Biltemas I thought of!

Tyvärr, de som jag har ska i igen.. Om jag inte bestämmer mej för att ta in en ny motor från USA. Men i så fall kan jag höra av mej.

Not even an all iron BB will reach 450kg, so you'll be OK. From hazy memory I believe a fully dressed all iron BB is in the 700 lbs range, which is about 320-360 kg or so.

Of course some aluminum heads, intake, w-pump etc never hurts! :)
