Hey guys, I'm back after a long wait. I bought a Cherry Picker and an Engine stand, then I had to move.

Anyways.

I just got done putting my 360 on my Engine Stand. The stand says it can support up to 1000 LBs.

I asked my brother if the engine will last on the stand for a long time. He said it could, but I just wanna verify that question.

Will the stand be able to hold the engine for quite some time while I start taking it apart?

I did buy it at Checkers and it's a ProXone brand.

Thanks guys.

 

The stand will hold that engine to the end of all days!
Do not worry about it. The 360 is no 1000lb. I had mine on a cheap *** 1000lb engine stand for about 1 year no issues. The weakest link are the bolts that screw into your block anyway. There I made sure I get some good grade screws. 8.8 is the minimum I would use.
Rather then that no worries.

Kool, kool.

Well the bolts I'm using for the block are Grade 8 and 3 inches long. I had to use three washers to make up for the clearance.

But thanks a lot!

 

ya
you'll have no problems

 

Unless its from Harbor Freight!! They sag, kinda scarey.

 

Well the stand I'm using does sag a bit.

 

I do have a harbor freight stand and it held my 440 w/iron heads for a month,and it did't sag at all

 

wow!

well i guess i have nothing to worry about then.

thanks guys.

 

if it sags an your worried just put a length of timber under the front of it to support it.

 

Your good.
Just don't start stacking stuff other than your 360 on it or we'll have to come and poke you for not putting the engine into use...
