I'm going to be getting an engine stand and I was wondering if a 750lb stand would be suitable for the 5s engine. I've looked around for the weight of the 5s, but I didn't find anything.

Begin least helpful post ever.
I have a 5S sitting in my garage without the s54 bolted to it. Although I can't just pick it up and carry it around, I can move it easily enough. I'm 145 lbs. so I can't see myself moving anything that weighs more than 750 lbs. with any ease. My guess is that a 750 lb. engine stand would do the job, but I can't be for sure. / least helpful post ever. -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.

Mine won't have the tranny on it either. The tranny is getting junked cause it's messed up. Thanks for the help though!

Yea bro that's plenty, I'm 180lbs and my friend is about the same and we could pick the 5s up and tote it around with ease. It weighs like maybe a little over 200, maybe. It isn't heavy. So like Stephen said 750 is plenty. Not sure if you have a harbor freight, but the one here is having a sale, it's a cherry picker and engine stand for like 150-300$ depending on how much weight you need it to hold. Even ones with a 2 ton jack.

There is a stand from advanceauto that is $70 and can hold 750lbs
I might need an engine lift, but I'm going to see if I can borrow my neighbors first Edit: Screw advance, harbor freight is wayyy cheaper lol This post has been edited by mkernz22: Sep 24, 2010 - 7:24 AM |
