A few tips...bolt the stand adapter to the engine first, then back the stand against the wall so it doesn't roll away when you try to put the engine on it. And find a BIG dumb friend to help! SBC short blocks aren't all that heavy, but lining things up on a stand is a lot different than just putting it in the back of a truck.

I did it with a 351W - and will NEVER do that again. A couple trips to the chiropractor, a bottle of aspirin and two weeks sitting carefully (couldn't bend over)cured me of even thinking about doing it again. Two guys - works fine. Oh yeah, 180 pounds for that bare block (the Ford was "only" 165#)
