Thats a beautiful sight. Are those 14mm main studs?

That's a nice stand, and also a sharp looking block in there.

For those planning to purchase or build a stand for this engine; I would say, regardless if it's 900, 975, 1100, or even 1250 lbs, you should plan on a 5X safety factor. So it's probably safe to purchase a 5000 lb max capacity stand. Any less than this probably needs to have a built in safety factor, recall that this weight rating is for a static load, things change rpaidly when that load becomes dynamic. And that's the reason for a safety factor.

This is what my owners manual says too...I suppose you throw the rest of the stuff on it probably rounds out to a little over a thousand pounds. Kinda makes ya feel big in the pants while talking to friends about it (until you gotta replace wheel bearings...)
