Re: Engine stands

If I had the money and was doing engines on a regular basis I'd love to have one of those. You would have to decide if the added cost of being able to turn the crank and rotate the engine is worth the extra money over one that you have to rotate the engine by hand on.

Same company 1250 lb rated wide spread legs for stability and 100.25 delivered https://www.amazon.com/Torin-Steel-R...R1301N7F25JDVF

The 4 wheels spread wide apart are a big deal with me as I have had one tip over when I was rolling it across the shop floor and hit a rough spot in the floor. My fault for not paying attention and luckily it was a long block that I was getting ready to tear down but that is the stand that has four wide spread wheels now after I modified it.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
