Cliff,
I just bought the Parts America stand for $45. I works just fine. While
pulling the engine and after separating the transmission and removing the
flywheel..... I transferred the engine to the stand.
You will need four long mounting bolts.... three 3" bolts and one 3 1/2 to
4" bolt and nut and 6 or 8 washers. I used grade 8 because of all the
weight hanging on the bolts... but I am sure this is overkill. I believe
they are 5/16 with an 18 coarse thread. They come in two forms.... it is
not the finer thread size.
