Use some tack welds to keep the arms that are supplied with the stand from moving. You can grind off the tack welds if you want to use the stand for a modern engine.

Looks just about like mine. One wants to be careful when "swinging" the engine around the stand-off. Depending on the configuration at the time it may be off-balance. Have two people available when releasing the pivot.
I always kind of liked the engine stand in Victor Page's Model A book - it has the advantage of a "gear" rotation. But it suffers from "two rails" and impeded access. There is no perfect engine stand.
