I used my four wheel stand just as Tim described here. Engine Mounting Have a look at his photo. He uses the upper two arms as spacers as the horizontal slots in the plate line up with the six cylinder block upper holes. One caveat for mine is that I have a gusset on the bottom and I have to use the shorter arms on the bottom because the nuts will hit the gusset.

This arrangement is pretty near the center of gravity for rotating the engine. It becomes bottom heavy when the head is removed and is more balanced when the crankshaft is removed also.
