Engine stand bolts

I looked at my stand which is disassembled right now. It's this one, but mine is orange...lol
1000 lbs. Capacity Engine Stand

As info, I tried all the engine stands from HF for my slant, the one above is the only one that would bolt up. The next size up (that's good for up to 2000 lbs) nor the smaller one (with just three wheels) won't match up between the arms, length, and mounting holes on the block. For bolts, I had two thread into the block, the other two I had to nut up through a hole.

Because the holes in the arms of the stand are so much bigger than the bolts going through them, I sleeved the arm holes with bushings I found at Ace Hardware - It lets the engine remain much closer to parallel to the floor as opposed to drooping down.

And X2 on all the above advice - watch out when you rotate the block, it will take your arm off if you're not careful. Don't ask me how I know this... :eek:
