Is this engine stand safe?
Quick question: My engine stand only adapts to three bolts on the Pineapple engine stand adapter. Is this safe to assemble a long block on? It seems pretty sturdy, but I do not have the warm and fuzzies about mounting all of the accessories and turbos on it without that 4th bolt.

you only NEED 2... so with 3 youre ahead of the game. the 4th would just be going above and beyond. just make sure theyre tight and youll be fine

you have more fasteners holding to the stand than hold it in the car...
