I have a HEAVY older one that (I think) used to belong to a school at one point (garage sale find) and this thing does not flex one bit with my 318 on it; I had a cheap one that I gave to my brother; he has a 4 cyl flathead Jeep he's restoring; I would not put much more than that on some of the stands sold these days. IIRC a SB weighs ~450-500 or so. More if A/C comp, brackets PS pump alternator etc are still attatched.

I rolled it into the garage from the driveway where I had transfered it from a crane to the stand, after cleaning it. The bouncing from the seams in the driveway just made it look like it was drooping more than I had expected.
