Default Engine Stand Recommendations
Need to pick one up tomorrow in Sydney somewhere, the existing workshop stand is being hogged by a deadwood job that has no easy lifting points.

Got to hold a medium heavy engine, not quite Barra weight but not alloy-headed four-pot either.

Suggestions on brand, or general attributes, or stuff to avoid, are appreciated.

Have stripped and assembled a couple of engines with one of those entry level $100 stands. Last one was a 289 Windsor with iron heads and intake manifold. So it wasn’t light. Did the job.

Thanks, looks like the grade of item required. $110 new at Hare & Forbes, so it’s bearable.

Between 5AM and when I walked into Hare & Forbes this morning, the price came down $11 - their sale being a nice surprise.
