Default Preferance on stands?
Any preferences on which engine stands work best?

A lot of the high $$$ ones look really nice, but I usually grab whatever 4 wheel one I can find on sale for like $39 and weld a few braces to them so they can't flex and I'm happy with them.

I'm planning on building it and storing it on the same rack for about a year. But you're saying that the cheap ones can't hold their own?

cheap ones tend to sag without some reinforcement

I have an OTC Stinger 1250 lb. 4 wheel stand that's fairly inexpensive and solid...I just saw it during a google search for $126.46
