| Engine stand? I just picked up a 750 lb engine stand but it only has 3 wheels & not 4 like my other one rated at 750 as well. Anyone use one with 3 wheels? Looks scary since I'm used to always having 4 wheels. Might return it?

| I have both a 3 and 4 wheel stands.. 4 wheel one is a homemade. 3 wheel is old .. Prob one of the first engine stands made  . I have had no problems BUT I did have to borrow one from a friend... 4 wheel cheapie. He used it for a BB chebby .. IT SUCKED !!! I can't see the cheap 3 wheel one being any better .. Just have to use your head and be careful when your moving it with the engine on .

 | The 3 wheel model came standard w/ all turbo Puicks, from 1985. The 4 wheel model was RPO code WTF4.

| So I'll use the 4 wheel for racing & the 3 wheel for driveway runs only!

| Well it lasted about 3 minutes! Hit a dip in the cement or actually a small 1" water channel & the front wheel bent like a wet noodle! Going to get a 4 wheel 1,000 lber tomorrow as its taken the same trip 100 times in 5 years! I knew it was Cheap Junk!
