Engine Stand Recommendations?

Post by colnago »

Okay, did a search, and couldn't find much. Does anyone have any recommendations for an engine stand? It's time to freshen up the old 352. I don't want to get something that can't hold the load, but I also don't want to get some monstrosity that I'll never use again. I'd rather not go with Harbor Freight. I can get an AC Delco 1000-lb from the local O'Reilly. I can get a Jegs 1250-lb for about the same price.

Any takers?

I used the harbor freight 4 wheel for my 360 and had no problems. The engine was on it for about 3 months.
