Engine Stand Capacity?!?!

[squeekyM]

Hi Everyone,

I have two questions:
I am about to pull my SBC out of my '72 and need to buy an engine stand. Would a 750# capacity stand be sufficient for a complete/turnkey 350 small block (alternator, waterpump,flywheel, etc all attached)?

I am also wondering if there is any other types of seals or any other maintainance type work I should do while the engine is out. I plan of replacing the oil pan + seal, timing cover chain and seals water pump + seals, rear main, and every other external seal i can imagine. I also am going to take a look at the clutch and flywheel and repair as needed. Thanks again for all the help, take care.
