I've got a thirty-five-year-old Stroppini engine stand and a
five-year-old Harbor Freight thing. I've hung my stroked 460 on the
Stroppini without any concerns, I would not hang it on the Harbor
Freight stand.
I've also made a rotisserie for my '65 Mustang that was, in its basic
technology, like a pair of engine stands. Some axle grease on the
shafts goes a long way. You could also try wrapping them in UHMW
polyethylene tape.
John.
