I had the same quandary on my TR3 engine, same stand.
I got a scrap of 1/4" plate and cut it into a horseshoe shape about 4" wide
to cover all the transmission mounting bolts and expose the crankshaft.
Then using the trans case as a template I marked and drilled all the holes
in the plate along with four big 1/2" holes to hold the engine stand's
mounting bolts.
I don't have the engine or the plate close by or I would send you a picture.
If you have any questions about my description, just ask.

Subject: [TR] Engine Stand Help
I just assembled my cheapo Harbour Freight, hope I only have to use it one
time, engine stand. I'm sure it's obvious to everyone but me
but..........how do you bolt the engine to the stand? I know you use bolts
and nuts but where on the engine is the attachment point? A picture is worth
a thousand words so http://tr6.danielsonfamily.org/EngineStand.htm Do my
arrows show the attachment points?
This is one of those things I want to get right as I have visions on it
falling on the floor....oops.
Thanks
