Dan, Most engine stands are the same box tube design. Get the highest rated one you can find with 4 casters. It should be rated for something like 1000 lbs. The 3 caster design will get a little tipsy with a small block on it. Heavily grease the rotating piece the engine bolts to before sliding it into the stand. It will make life much easier when it's time to rotate. Any auto parts store will carry them, as well as places like Harbor Freight, Summit Racing, Jegg's, etc. My 3 castor one is a Rally brand from Pep Boys. My buddy's 4 castor one is a no-name he got mail order years ago, probably from Harbor Freight.

I noticed Kragers Auto has then ( here in town) but I would like to know if anyone's experience has told than a particular stand was 'Good" or "Never again". Feel free to contact me direct at "dansgarage@xxxxxxxxxxxx". Thanks all!
