Straight 8 Engine stand

[nali]

I recently purchased an AC Delco HD engine stand from O'Reilly, and as none of you will be surprised to see in the one pic the legs weren't long enough.... so I made a set of 5' long legs and reused the original casters that came with the stand. It works like a charm and I can turn the engine over if I need to. BlackSmithBilly I love your stand, I think when it comes time to fire up this engine I'll make a run stand just like it!

Is there no risk breaking the block itself ? Those engines are so long and heavy ..
I have a stand like this, I don t dare installing the engine on it
