FYI Make sure you marine oil pans do have a clearance issue with the stand. I use on occasion the Jegs "jegster legs" for my BBC. Had to make a small mod to clear the pan. Anything that bolts ONLY to the 3-point area on the side of the block is sweet for use with a bravo cover.

As for the rotating stands the cheapies get the job done, and you can add reinforcement if need be. My 420's chill out pretty nice on the shop floor with a bit of a lean when the offshore mounts are attached so that works well. For other projects and long term storage I just fab up my own with scraps and 4 swivel casters. Plus it makes you feel better when you make $hit yourself.
