Four wheel stands are nice, but as long as you pay attention 
to how you move the stand around, there is nothing wrong 
with a three wheel stand.  I have had a spare SHO motor on a 
three wheel stand for several years, no problems.

I bought mine at a local overstock supply store, I would 
guess that Harbor Freight would have some.  IF all you need 
to do is store a motor or do light work, almost any of the 
cheap ones will work.

I overhauled a small block chevy on my cheap three wheel one 
a few years back and even using the torque wrench it was fine.
