These motors weigh between 1100 and 1200 lbs.. Use only a 2 ton engine stand and even then be very careful around it. No harbor freight 1 ton stand will support it. Others have tried.... Others have failed....

It needs a turbo...
I am going to use jack stands on my engine mounts when it comes time for the re-assy.

i used a 2 ton crane and a 1 ton stand. the stand is a relic, way overbuilt, and even then i was a little worried so i made sure to leave the crane attached with a little tension on the chain in case something happened
after i got the heads and crank out it was better, but the bare block has to weigh about the same as your average iron block/aluminum head setup

i used the BIGGEST harbor frieght stand i could find, i had to notch out the one part so it would open enough to bolt on. i had no trouble with it, if it was sitting for a while i'd prop it up with a 4x4.
