Dan ...sorry cant help you with the weight on the NAA. But the cheap harbor freight engine stand holds my 2N engine just fine. I did replace all the engine mounting bolts with grade 8's from tsc cause I just didn't like the look of the metric low quality ones they came with. HTH ....Tim

Tim - just what I was looking for! Glad to hear I do not have to fabricate anything for it to mount as is. Do you have a part number or about how much you paid for it?

Thanks a ton,
Dan

Dan....I dont have a part number. I fortunately have a harbor freight outlet store near me so's I just walked in and bought it. But it was the cheapest one they had, around $39 I believe. It was rated for 900lbs. I asked the exact same question awhile back for my 2N engine and got responses back from 6-8 hundred pounds so I figured it was ok. I wanted to buy an engine hoist too but didn't have the $$$$, so I made do with the transmission jack adapter in my floor jack. It was a bit wobbly and had to have the misses help, but it got on there. They have one for a few more dollars thats rated up to 1500 lbs...your call.
p.s. if you do get one, grease the engine mounting braket where it goes into the stand. I didn't and it is hard to rotate sometimes...plus the hole for the pin to hold it from rotating gets offset from to back and is a bit hard to get back in sometimes. Those are the only problems I had with it. The bolts I bought I made sure had the same thread as the engine mounting bolts and I threaded them right into the block....Later Tim

Thanks Tim. I too have a HF Outlet store real close to me. I am planning on stopping in after work today and see if they have one in stock. The price range you gave me is all I need, I have already researched their stands and know which one you have - thanks. I already bought grade 8 bolts to replace all the perimeter bolts between the engine and tranny, so I should be in good shape there.

Hey Dan just went out and looked at mine. It is a central machinery item # 32915 rated to 750 lbs. Not the 900 I told you ...sorry. but after you get the oilpan off that lessen it by what feels like a hundred pounds right? :>)....by the way if you do replace bolts make sure you grab a hand full of washers and maybe some big nuts the bolt s will slide through for spacers cause some are blind holes and you dont want to be searching for something when you are trying to mount it.
