Im curiuos on why,you would need to spin the engine,you need the plates horizontal,and you start from the front plate to the rear/then flip the engine for the oil pump/front cover acessories,which the easiest way I founf doing is with an engine hoist,
Even if you dont have that 2 people is all needed to lift a short block.
I had an engine stand,but didnt want to spend $60. for the plate from mazdatrix.So I sold the stand,it just wasnt worth it to me for the couple time uses,the 10 gal works good..
But it might make it easier for someone else,so good luck..
post a pic,I will see if someone needs it
