My engine stand is the typical low dollar unit. I've had several fully assembled V8's on it with no problem. I read the posts with the engine wieghts...an inline 6 is about 140 pound lighter than a V8, but...an inline is longer than a V8 so I'm curious if this extra length or "lever arm" will cause the stand to tip over frontwards dumping the engine on the water pump. Am I getting to anal. The HorsePower TV show on SpeedChannel has a really cool stand that has a gearbox and a handle to rotate the engine. I've looked hi and lo for one of these to no avail.
