    How can I mount a Chevrolet 235 on a Matco engine stand it has two short arms and two long arms. The engine stands number on Matcotools.com is ST2012A. If anybody has any advise please help me.

    Take the pivot off the stand and bolt it to the back of the block. You want to line up pipe adaptor to about the center of the block mass, so when you rotate the motor, it will turn easily. You don't want this to be out of balance or it might fall over when you rotate it. If it is out of balance, you could get hurt. You only have to do this wrong once and you'll get the idea.
