Very nice! That will hold them for sure. I will try to dig out pics of my Pontiac engine cradle I made a few years back.

Very cool.

Nice design.

I figure that will hold a Cummins or a Powerstroke 7.3 without straining.

It's attractive, too.

Maybe this is my OCD talking, but that looks REALLY easy to clean...

Yeah the powdercoating on these are really slick and durable, oil and grease wipes right off. The intention of these were big block gas and diesel applications like the 7.3 powerstroke and the duramax. Not too many places your gonna find that sells these stands that are heavy duty like these. I know I wouldn't feel comfortable putting a full dressed big block or diesel engine on one of the cheap Chinese stands.

Now that's a heavy duty engine stand! Nice work. What kind of casters are you using?

The casters are rubber molded on an iron wheel.
