Thanks for the help guys, whilst I was browsing the net last night I came up with what I think will be a better idea for my purpose. Just needs a little bit of fabrication. Ordered the stand today.  ;D

If you have a good bench you don't need a stand. Leave the sump off and put some cap head screws in the threaded holes to lift it clear of the bench. Works fine, and engine is very stable like that. Not required it myself, but if you were to drop a washer or something in the engine it will fall out the bottom. Maybe.

Couldn't make it for that price either. Bargain off the year I think. It arrived today as well, really speedy delivery.
