Get the 1000# engine stand, it’s a little taller & you can turn the engine w/accessories 360. Don’t forget your “while the engine is out” list. Clutch cable, sound pad, heater valves & hose, repack/reverse half shafts, gas filter & lines, tin repaint, shifter bushes, vacuum lines, etc, etc
Yes, I plan to do as much of this "while I'm in there list" as possible. My budget has been curtailed so no unnecessary upgrades. Is there any reason I couldn't sit the motor on the dolly I have to do valve adjustments and other stuff? My goal is to park both cars in the garage when I'm not working on the engine, I'm am worried the engine stand will take up too much room.
