Did you not want to use the stand to disassemble the engine? Or is this just for storage purposes?

I'm only disassembling down to the shortblock. This is mainly for that and transporting it to and from the machine shop for a rebuild.
Aside from the receiver tubing, I got all the steel for free. I only have about $120 in it.

The option to rotate the engine is a handy one.

You can always make those supports out of round tubing later for rotating. You might cut the top of the receiver tubes off so you can bolt your supports onto the block and then drop it into the stand without having to try and line up bolts if the engine isn't perfectly level.

That thought did cross my mind. It did take some doing to get it from the hoist to the stand.
Overall, I'm please with version 1.0.

I do also have a 2-ton engine stand that will rotate.

I found some 6" casters to use and finally gusseted and braced the motor mount uprights.

I have the same stand from HF. I've used it through my whole rebuild and it's been working great. It held the full motor without any problems but it is a pain to rotate it with the head still on. Also, it's not too bad to wheel around the garage. Either way it was well worth the $110 it cost.
If I had it to do again, I'd weld up a couple sprockets and throw on a chain and crank handle.
Hopefully I don't have to use it again!
By the way, the fab is looking good, looks solid as crap!

Thanks. It did well on the trip home from the machine shop. I don't think the engine moved at all.
