I have had my 235 hanging on a Harbor Freight stand for over a year now. Fully rebuilt complete with manifolds, carb, breather, water pump, and alternator. Havent added the AC compressor yet but otherwise ready to reinstall. Not the best stand in the world and I do keep a 2x4 wedged in between the base of the stand and the front of the block to prevent sagging but it is holding it well. If I did this for a living I would spend more on a stand but for a hobby it works great for the cost.
