If you're going to mount a stovebolt 6 on it, get the biggest, longest-legged engine stand you can find. They're heavier and longer than a small block V-8, and there's a real danger of tipping over forward or turning over sideways due to the high center of gravity of the inline engine. A student at the school where I teach needed almost 100 stitches to close up the cuts on his foot from getting in the way of a falling engine/stand combination several years ago, before I took over the shop. The kids had mounted the engine back onto the stand after installing the flywheel, clutch, and bellhousing, which made it too front-heavy. This was a professional-quality stand, also, not a cheap square tubing type. Don't believe the weight ratings on some of the Mickey Mouse stands that are available on the internet or one of the Chinese tool places. They'll get you hurt!
