Can't see much of the stand in the pic, but it looks like there's a bit of overhang past the front of the legs. I'd suggest lengthening them a few inches in the interest of keeping your toes where they belong. Inline sixes and stands designed for V8's sometimes don't play well together!

If you can find a piece of square tubing the right size to slide inside what's already there and add a few drilled holes for lock pins, you can tailor the leg length to the engine you're working with. Put the front casters on the sliding section.

Check out the "261 buildup" thread John posted recently- - - -there's some very good pictures of a run stand we used to break in that engine.
