Many people use a V-8-size engine stand at each end, with a bar welded
across the square plate at the pivot point. At each end of the
bar is a protruding post. The posts fit into the jacking holes at each
end of the body. I have pictures from Rob Martel that show a Tiger from
various angles, and in various places inside and outside, held up very
well. His setup has larger wheels than most engine stands I've seen, to
make it easier to roll over hoses and uneven floors. I would be inclined
to add a beam to connect the two stands.
