For which engine???
I8 example:packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb ... 8975&post_id=281368#forumpost281368 V8 example:packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=24406 Coincidentally we used the same stand from HF. You will only be able to spin it using the handle, if the engine is stripped down all the way. Otherwise for a V8, I "hug" one side of the engine, pull the pin, crouch down to rotate it, and put the pin back in. This way I am supporting the engine weight with my legs, not back. Reverse for getting it rotated back up. Kevin used a car lift and block&tackle to rotate his around. If I were to buy another engine stand I would just get a powered one I think.

I picked up the 2000lbs stand from Harbor Freight. Seems to work well enough. I would've gotten the gear driven stand but I was too cheap. If mounting a straight 8, it should be mounted from the side, which means you'll need to mark and drill holes in the mounting plate. If mounting a V8 it will mount to the rear of the engine like normal.

Although I have a couple cheap stands, I also have a geared one which I’m using on my Imperial engine. Fortunately there was an adapter plate made specifically for the 413 and 440 blocks and the steadiness and angular precision of the gear drive made it very easy to use. Still, it must have some balance as I’m not sure I would trust it for a totally out of balance load.
