440 weight

[440satellite]

Hey guys, I started to mount my 73 440 on an engine stand rated for 1000lbs that my buddy had given to me. Much to my surprise the mounting fingers or swing arms ( whatever they are called ) started to bend a lot when I let the weight off the engine crane. No way would I leave it on there hanging like that. What is the rating on the engine stands you guys use for big blocks? I thought a 440 was around 650lbs.

Most likely some more china garbage.There not hard to build.

I built the two that I have....and yeah, around 650 depending on what's on it. The cheap store bought ones that say 1000 lbs are....well, cheap.
