...or engine stand like this?

Any recommendations? Bearing in mind it's going to be holding a ~620lb V8 so a 1000lb frame should be more than man enough, of which there seem to be plenty around

Depends what u want to do, the stand is better for flipping engine upside down etc
-
Stand.
Dont see any advantages with the cradle

If it's like the impala v8, then you'll need the mother of all stands.... I'd opt for a cradle until it's stripped right down then put it in a stand for underneath work

Imo take the head off / on with engine in the bay; lower block & box down, detach box then you can wrestle with the block & roll it around without needing either!

Stand, we've has straight 6 dervs on the one at work and it's fine, just a beffy one. Cradle looks like it'd get in the way all the time.
