I have several heavy Engine Stands that I use, rated for 2000 lbs. For an inline 6 I add a length of heavy steel Angle. The Angle is drilled to match the Bellhousing bolt locations on the 235/261 and 2 additional holes to mount to the engine stand ears. The Angle bolts to the ears on the stand and the Block bolts to the angle. I only use the 2 ears at the top of the Bellhousing pattern with the Angle, I use spacers with 2 lower ears. It works slick as snot..😁
Just a side note, I broke down and purchased gear drive engine stand from Harbor Freight, rated at 1500 lbs. As I get older the less I like wrestling with turning an engine by hand, the geared mounting head is a life saver.
