Im totally new to these. What are you guys using to stand your LS motors? Id like one that I can move on the floor and that can rotate the assembly.
Engine Stands

As you well know, I'm a Jew. I got one for 25, one for 50, one w the hoist. But I think HF usually has them for $75 or less on sale. There are 5 total in that corner now. All with LS blocks/engines on em with no issues.
Jeff had this little small roller he bolted my LS motor to last night when I dropped it off at his house. I'll see if I can find one. Thing was pretty sweet.
Edit: it's similar to this one, may be the same even. He has wheels on the bottom of his though. http://store.katechengines.com/gen-34-engine-stand-p156.aspx

mines homemade. pretty sure i could hold a heave ass powerstroke motor on mine.
i have wheel bears in the pivot shaft, makes it easy to roll the motor over.

Harbor freight that has the "H" shape, think its the heavier one. I have 3 or 4 lol
Just send me one...with a block...ill clear some room for ya.
So they DO swivel to turn the engine upside down, right? If so I will look for a HF one to pop up on sale or on CL, thanks fellas.
My HF engine hoist was far from dinky, and nothing looked dinky from any of the ones I have been around. It's rated to a specification, and all it's doing is holding an engine...no need to over pay
Yeah they swivel. That pics old as hell, will update later. I actually need another stand. Should be picking up 2 Gen IV short blocks next WK.
Holds all my accessories, compact, mobile, free.
You mean the sag? Most all of them do it. All the bolts in the block instead of 2 on the heads helps though.
Oh now that I believe, I just use around the shop, definitely want something with a lower profile and front support to transport.
for transport, we some like use these:
around the shop: AC Delco and HF "H-style"
AC Delco works good enough but kinda wobbly, hard to turn over... would buy another HF over AC Delco more based on price but quality does have to do with it
