I’m actually way more concerned with the engine stand.  I’ve never seen one, HF or otherwise, that I truly trusted.  
 

The hoist isn’t HF, but not really branded either.  That thing’s been tested tho

The aluminium block should be ok..the iron blocks had issues with bending the mount support brackets on the stand per previous review i did years ago. Yea trust i know its like close to 2k for dod delete and cam+ tune said and done.

I think the long block is 485ish.  But those accessories are chunky.  Still, it’s no iron block.

I say screw the review. Test it yourself. Slowly let it down till you visually see the mounting brackets on the stand take the weight from the motor. Then stop. You don't want to break off the bolt holes on the block. If they bend more then 3/16 of an inch. Jack it back up

In that pic the weight was fully on the stand.  Motor looks like it’s pointing downhill, but it’s not. Just camera angle.

Oh and if I ever find the POS that thought it’d be funny to attach every wire and tube to the back of the backside of the friggin motor with 300 Christmas tree clips and then mount the motor 0.003” from the firewall AND THEN shove 4” of heat reflective sound deadening material in there, we are gonna have words.  Not nice ones.

New motor is in and mostly bolted up. Need to tidy up some wires, put on exhaust, coolant hoses, etc. Getting there!

 

Public service announcement. Hopefully you never have to, but if you do this, CHECK THE NEW FLEX PLATE.   It didn’t fit my converter.  Care to guess at which point I figured that out???
