It depends alot on the structure of the stand. If it's made out of thin (like 1/8" or 3/16") 2x2 tubing, NO WAY. I'd be really cautious of even using 1/4" think 2x2 tubing.

My brother has a stand that he got from a neighbor, he had his Buick 455 big block on it, and I've had the engine from my 1600 on it without any problems. It's made out of 1/4" 4x4 tubing and it's built really heavy, and it is quite heavy.

I had to make up some spacers to clear the end of the crank, but I hung it on there with 4 grade 8 bolts. Take in mind your 310 is gonna be heavier so I wouldn't use spacers and longer bolts unless I absolutely had to. Grade 8 is a must for any engine.

I just did a 880 motor on a home made V8 stand I was a little nervous but it got the job done.

I have used automotive engine stands of that type, but they aren't my first choice. If you look in an Oliver service manual, you will see the type of stand that they used. An automotive stand that supports the engine from the flywheel end is tricky to get good enough bolts to support the block in a cantilever fashion. If you're doing an overhaul, I like to use just a cherry picker to maneuver the engine and a good piece of plywood across the cast bathtub frame. Lay the block down and you've got a pretty good working surface, albeit a low-tech one.
