Engine stands revisited.

[Fred K-OR]

Need some help to get my intestinal fortitude built up enough to try my new engine stand. I purchased a HF 2000 lb stand today for around $103. It was $149.99, went on sale until 3-31-12 for $129.99 and I got it with the 20% discount thing you find in their ads for around $103. I thought it was a good deal so went for it. But the point of this post is not to sell HF stuff but to ask a couple of questions about using this thing and thought I would let you all know about the deal at HF is someone wants one. Attached are some pictures of it.

One question I have is will this thing hold an engine that has everthing on it (flywheel, head, manifolds, pan-no tranny at this time) by hooking it to the left water outlet? (see my pictures) Next question is-can I add the tranny and have it still hold it up? I positioned the bracket that bolts to the motor as far back toward the flywheel as I could so it would balance better.

If I have things all set up wrong, please let me know. Thanks again.
