Default engine stand

just bought myself an engine stand from machinemart, best place i can see to attach my cvh block to it is the four holes on the flywheel end.
Will this be ok??, any advice on wot bolts or any other ways to mount it etc so i can start strpping and replacing bits on the engine.

yeah use the mounting lugs poking out each side for the gear box an the two that are on the top of the block where the two top gearbox bolts go.

heres how to bolt it on mate.You can just about see the bolts where they go through the gearbox mounting holes.
You can just use any bolts realy to hold it on, not special needed at all.

IIRC the head bolts are the same thread as the gearbox mounting bolts.
