It has roller bearings, 64 to 1 hand crank w/ worm gears that hold the load in any position with out a set screw, and a solid mounting plate w/ chevy & Mopar bolt patterns.

That looks like the same gearbox that came on my Summit engine stand so they must be commercially available. I loved mine so much I bought another one on sale at Jegs. 1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.38@138.67 Livin and lovin life one day at a time

The X design is really strong without covering up much of the block. The other design was to CNC a billet plate that fits the bellhousing and use that to support the engine. I have some of these billet plates left over if you are interested in building another engine stand. I think I only have the SB version left but I'd have to checki.
