You asked:
bring the 1000 lb stand back for a 2000 lb stand. The 216/235/261 engines are too long for the 1000 stand's legs/geometry.
You'll be safely able to roll around and rotate a stovebolt engine on the 2000 lb stand.
I have used a Northern Tools and a Harbor Freight 1000 lb frame - they were unstable. The 2000 HF frame is excellent.
