You bolt the engine to the stand through the bellhousing bolt holes, the arms on the stand are adjustable to suite different engines.

do a few versions, I have the T version with a single long leg and short t part, gives more room for your feet than the ones with parallel legs, had loads more weight on mine than rated was no problem, easy take a cossie with all ancillaries etc.

Same as Tabetha, some go for the parallel legs as when trying to bolts heads on etc they're more balanced but tbh I think you'd have to be a compete dick to topple one over.
