Default LS1 on engine stand

Built alot of cast iron blocks on engine stands but this is my first aluminum. should I get an engine cart or will it hold up on an engine stand by the 4 bell housing bolts? Got to tear it down to paint for install into 67 malibu with 6 speed gear box.

SHouldn't have any problem with an engine stand just make sure and get as many threads into the block as you can. Good luck with your project I will keep my eye on it since I am doing a 67 Chevelle myself.
