This is way too complicated. I vote "borrow" a manhole cover, bolt it to the stand plate and bolt the engine to it.
Drilling holes should be easy since they're usually pot-metal and if you feel like cutting it down to no bigger than the SBF bell-housing pattern the sawzall and some good blades will make quick work of it.
I'm only half joking about that.
Shopping carts make great engine stands too.

300-6 engine stand
...Oh boy what fun. Buying a stand not inline six friendly..I just do them on cardboard. Early days on the ground with plenty tarps.. Now got a nice carport and concrete. Still do the cardboard.. The harbor freight engine hoist on that sale they had during the pre-covid days. Nice to have but think the hydraulic Rams go fast..Get a new better ram.. No one makes a dolly for the 300-6...And it's nice to have one where you can test start the motor.. The bell housing plate on Ford makes ground starting an issue.. Ford needs a special dolly..Chevy i-6 just roll'em around on cardboard. No one gives inline six people any respect ! The winner of the weekend overhaul speed contest... One head. One exhaust.. Drive to work on Monday morning with a fresh motor ! OMG.. and points ? Points will get yer butt off Normandy Beach & on yer way quicker than getting blown up waiting for a module from the states. " Hand me a match pack quick "! Six banger fans get no respect either " Rodney Dangerfield "... " Hey Rodney ? Stop foolin' with that VIAGRA, you can 't
spin wrenches with a sprained wrist " ! Miss yer jokes !

I see the thread alive again, thank for passing by, of course you don't see many inline sixes on stands, most of them do the work on ground or on a bench.
In post#2 Mtphammer says he got one from Harbor freight and is ding fine.
