    They work well... I have had a Miata engine sitting on one for over a month now.

    I dunno... Harbor Freight + Engine Stand = Broken Foot.

    So, is that engine out of Vivid? Oh wait, your still alive, so I guess not.

    That seems awfully cheap for something that has such a critical job.

    It will hold an 258 inline 6 from a Jeep CJ. I had one on it for about a month and a half as I put it back together. It won't have any problem holding a miata engine.

    An engine stand is not exactly a complex piece of equipment guys. Steel tubes are pretty cheap.

    It is the engine out of the POSV!

    It is actually built pretty well and as Altiain mentioned it is not exactly a complex piece of technology!

    The old stand was a bit less complex.

    I bet the paint has lead, and you can bet the solder they used to put it together is lead based as well.

    Just remember not to gnaw on it or sleep under it.

    But lead tastes good especially after being mixed with oil and gasoline.

    Will this hold an engine from an Enzo?

    I have a 390 big Block Ford FE on one.

    I'm sure that 390 is 749 lbs
