Yes sir I just took mine off of one 2 weeks ago and installed in my truck. I didnt turn it any after I put the heads on but I didnt need to. And like I said I put a jackstand under the front of motor for safty but it never come down on it. Worked for me better than building in the floor and at a reasonable price.

The stand I built is loaned out so I can't give any pictures right now. It had a Cat 3208 on it recently and they said it held it ok. I used a spindle/hub assembly off of the front axle of a 4x4 chevy pick-up. Made it very easy to turn an engine over!! I think i had $60 in steel??
