engine stand

I need an engine stand to make a quick job on my new 3.0L engine easier. The engine is not in the car yet. I'm not going to rebuild it or anything, I'll just need to have it on the stand for a day or 2 to install carbs and SSI's, and re-furbish the sheet metal.

I can borrow a friend's engine stand that he uses for his 912. It has 2 arms instead of 5, but is pretty beefy; the 2 arms are about 1-inch thick. He bought it at a swap meet for $75, so it's not one of the cheapies you see for VWs. Will this work? I hate to spend $300+ on a stand for a 1-day job.
