Just to let you know. There are other ways.

I built my engine without an engine stand (or yoke) - mainly because I didn't have the floor space. The engine is light enough so you can do this on a sturdy bench. The short block was supported on top of a 3/4" piece of plywood which in turn was supported by a lazy susan, ball-bearing turntable (from the local hardware store); quite adequate for access to all parts of the engine. When you need access to the bottom, just roll the engine over onto the flywheel end of the crank. I installed the flywheel/clutch assy./transaxle while it was on the floor and the intake system (carbs) and the heat exchangers after the engine was back in the car.
