Engine stand

Do any of you fine gentlemen know where I can buy or have made an engine stand for a V6 Merc and what it would cost?

A machine mart engine stand can work well, if you plate it to raise the height a few inches. Easy to move as well

I'm collecting an engine hoist from "Honest Johns" in Southampton on Saturday and was going to check out the engine stands there. Can they be locked so they don't spin?

I just welded my Machinemart one to stop it spinning and put a bolt through looking hole as well just for safety.

Also when assembling if you put the upright so that it leans in it makes it more stable.
