Engine Stand

The stands in the OP look great, and versatile, but, IMHO, unless you are doing it for a living, 8 hours a day every day, and building different motors, they are a bit over the top.

A simple box section stand holding the motor in a normal vertical position is perfectly fine for your own engine, and can be knocked up in half an hour with a saw, grinder and mig welder.

Spoiler alert, i've been a m/c mechanic my whole adult life, inc having my own shop for 15 years in the UK specializing in certain engines, we had an individual stand for every motor and separate g/box. Took up a lot of space on the wall and under the benches, the above pic seems like a great 3 in 1 idea....

I’m just building my stand from what I have laying around the shop. It’s all cut out and drilled, I’m just waiting for a little warmer weather to weld it up in my unheated shop (my welding is done in the unheated part, my small but warm workshop is where I work on my bikes).
