I'm going to be buying an engine stand soon and pull the engine in my Talon over the winter.

I've found these so far,

I don't really know what to get, is there another place I can buy a good quality stand for a decent price?

Just hung mine friday on the PA 1000 Lb model bought on sale for 49.00, same as the CTC model stands up to a BBC so all that is needed. Also like the narrow front end and the bar down the middle so I am not tripping over the legs. Just my 02 cents.

I've had my engine on a CTC stand for a long time and it has held up just fine. They go on sale pretty often so I'd wait a bit if you can and keep an eye on the flyer.
