Haven't purchased an engine stand in decades, please don't tell me they are all made in chine of inferior materials and workmanship now. What design or brand is befitting of a Mopar? Tnank you.
That design is very sturdy!I got this one awhile back and my Hemi has been hangin on it for a couple of years now. I honestly think it will hold up one ton, like it says. Yeah, it's made in China, but so far so good.

I agree! That's impressive! Same base design as a cherry pickerThat design is very sturdy!
The one you make at home! They're badass...
HF "heavy duty" with four wheels and braces is pretty decent.
Made like an engine hoist on the bottom.
That's a steal,for a buck forty,RRR... American steel at a scrap yard,is more than that ...(and a shame..) My first 50 dollar H.B.engine stand,20 years ago: No reinforcement,garbage casters... Slapped a solid '70 Chevy 010/020 long block on it. The damn thing,bent faster,than I could tear it apart(with air tools!?!??) ...Two hours into disassemble,the engine block was at a 45 degree angle... ...I got this one awhile back and my Hemi has been hangin on it for a couple of years now.

Better pic.
You can see that the center line of the engine is still angled up rather than down.

This is the stand that I have. you can install cams vertically. I dont see them being available any more. I think its a great design and it is strong. It's called All Point Motor Stand. Not my pic.On my hf 4 caster setup, I still got an old scissor jack under the pan to keep the motor level. Just makes me feel better seeing it stored on an even keel. Someone one day is going to make custom yokes for specific blocks. Chevrolet SB, BB, Mopar LA and B/RB-hemi, and Ford ( whatever they run, SB,385,BB...) none if this universally bad mounting flabby yoke garbage. I think most have the same yoke diameter.
