Have any of you ever mounted your engine to a regular automotive engine stand? You know the kind that regular V-8s and engines like that hang from... I have found that three of the four bolt holes from the swingarm mounting plate will line up. But I figured before I did anything like this I would like to find out if this is going to be safe? Will the mounting bracket crack? Will my engine fall? Any info that you guys can give me will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mike

I've seen it done. The swingarm mounting block/bracket plenty strong.
