Can't Decide on Engine Stand

Can't Decide on Engine Stand was created by Kiln_Red
I'm pulling the motor out of my car soon and can't decide on an engine stand for it. I have a cheap one but I'm not taking any chances with this motor. What stand do you/would you guys use? Last time I did an engine pull on a 928 was for the purpose of repairing major front end damage. I just let the engine hang from the hoist that time so this is the first time I have run into this issue...

it is a heavy motor, so get a good stand. Mine looks like this, folds up as well, and does the job:

I will be picking up the same stand at my local NAPA store.
I need to get a shed first for all of the stuff I am collecting, lawn mower, snow blower, power/pressure washer. ha ha

Yep that is exactly the same one I used (borrowed)
thanks John!
It worked great make sure you get good bolts, you can use the two long bell housing 19 mm bolts for the top two and two of the eng mount 17mm bolts for the bottom (you will need nuts for these) they can be borrowed from your shock tower if you do not have any near by.
