Years ago I bought an engi9ne stand rated at 1250 lbs. Had a picture of an RB with B1 heads on the box, so I figured it'd be good for my B motor. Fully dressed I could hear that stand groan (lol). I would hook my engine hoist up if I left it overnight, just to be safe. Never had an issue though and it's been 20 ears or so, I still have that stand.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

Just be careful if you try to rotate it fully dressed. I tried and it almost hit the floor , very top heavy!!!!
Ditto! I bought the heavy duty chinese stand at Harbor Freight. Almost rotated a dressed hemi. Not balanced for that. Barely saved it from flipping over.
