Kinda a dumb question

But where can I buy engine stands? I doubt pep boys/autozone/etc has them, and I doubt the dealers have them for sale, so do I go to a catalog? If so which one? I need a stand for a Buick 3.8 Turbo engine.
Thanks

Actually you're wrong there! Pep boys DOES sell engine stands...as does Autozone as well!! I bought my AC Delco engine stand at O'Reillys!! Check you're local parts store....if they don't have them in stock they can get them from their warehouse!! However, Pep boys and Autozone both have always had them in stock when I went in there!!

I reccomend getting a heavy duty one also. A small block can do some major damage to a weak stand! (You'll most likely have a small block on it in the future!)

Working on:
'84 Z28 LG4 305 with 200,000 original miles!
Added dual elec fans.
145 MPH IROC Speedo
Building 430 HP 350 (ZZ430)
using primarily GMPP parts.
Short block sitting on a stand. (Man, those Fast-Burn heads sitting on it look good!)

Starting to look like the Kicker poster child!
