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
