The $34.99 stand is disproportionately low, and totally adequate for even an
Austin Healey 3000 BJ8 engine. I know; mine from Harbor Freight (same stand, $50
+ freight in 1986) carried the Healey's engine for more than one year of 
+pounding
to get those poor old pistons out (in good order too!). Grease the moving parts
while assembling the stand and it will last a few lifetimes.
