456456 the jegs engine cradle with wheels offers everything you need from an engine stand in a simple straightforward format. I was a little hesitant about purchasing this engine stand because the price was much cheaper than other brands of rotating engine stands but i trust jegs and amazon and i was sure they would make it right if i had any issues. Cutting the front 2 bolt holes from the motor mount plate on the stand allows it to easily bolt up to the ls motor. Minimal flex and bounce.
The fact that the engine or any other item mounted on the stand can rotate for 360 degrees is exciting.

The most common issues with jegs are around customer service which is not as good as expected by some customers. And that can make it a perfect pick for budget conscious mechanics.

I like the slight angle it has do that the bottom is not at 90 degrees. Jegs also ranks 243rd among auto parts sites. Engine stands are great for working on engines. The stand tends to flex a bit when torqueing on bolts but did not bend or break after breaking engine down to the short block.
