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.
 
Harbor freight that has the "H" shape, think its the heavier one. I have 3 or 4 lol

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.
 
Yea I've got 3 harbor freight ones. One had had a old 69' Ford FE 390 on it and that engine weighs as much as a small house. Lol
 
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.

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.

You mean the sag? Most all of them do it. All the bolts in the block instead of 2 on the heads helps though.
 
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
