Engine Stand?

Hey everyone! I have an 04 RX8 and it’s needing and engine rebuild. I was looking at the different adapters for the rotary motors and was also looking at getting just a small 750lb engine stand but I wasn’t sure if there were any particular ones that would be suggested? I know the pineapple racing adapter mentions an engine stand but didn’t know if that was just a suggestion or not. Thanks for any help and I can’t wait to learn everything I can with this motor!

I just used a regular 1 ton stand, got lucky that I was able to angle 3 arms to hold the plate without an adapter

HF 1000 lb engine stand w/ the Pineapple Racing adapter worked perfectly for me.

See my turbo install and engine rebuild thread: "Curt’s Gr8t 8 Turbo Build". https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-maj...-build-268497/
