Hello, it's my first post! I'm Carl from PA. I've got a 1958 289 engine that I will tear down and rebuild. I found it in a junkyard a while back. It had been sitting about 43 years and was seized. I freed it up. Now I want to put it on an engine stand.
The engine has no accessories and no transmission. There is no bell housing, flywheel, or other parts after the rear of the block.
On the flange where those parts would mount on the rear of the block, the tapped holes are 5/16-18. The engine weight can't be supported on four bolts in those holes (can it?).
What do I need to put the engine up on the stand safely?
