I need to rebuild the engine in my truck, and am looking for guidance
on engine stands. The engine is a '93 7.5L (460ci) big block - cast
iron block and heads.
I have a generic 3 wheeled stand (750 lb rating?) that supported a
Stag engine, but it seemed to be pretty close to it's working limit as
the engine bounced around a lot as I was working on it, and I worried
about tipping over when rolling it around. I'm considering a folding,
4 wheeled 1250lb stand from Northern with a geared head. Is that
going to be sufficient?
Thanks in advance for any input,
Mike Burdick
