Default Need help with LS bolting to engine stand.

Did my LT1 one in the past easy as it has one more bolt hole. Tried several different ways and only way I get it to work. Can’t bolt to heads as they are coming off. Two bolts on left trans bolts where the nipple is then right side second and third top bolts.. This is a Harborfreight stand the model with four wheels. Also if anyone can fix the picture for me that Would help us as don’t post pictures much.

Thanks!

This is how I normally attach an LS. I don't have any pictures specific to how it's bolted to the stand but you get the idea.

You seem to be missing the 4 arms that bolt to the rectangular plate then to the back of the engine.

I think they are there, just pivoted down out of direct sight in front of the plate. I had to look hard for them myself.
