just get one that will handle a ford v8 and thats all you will ever need for a rb series motor unless of coarse you have a sump with a diff then make sure you get the heavy duty suckers... The ones they have at supercheap etc should manage a rb30 complete....

I was quoted one from a mate at repco for about $250 and that was a heavy duty one down from like $370.

Went to super cheap and they had one rated at 520kg ($159) and another at 450kg ($109). Not sure on how accurate those ratings would be though.

On a bit of a budget so supercheap might be the way to go <_<

Also what size bolts are used on the bell housing/stand? and what type should they be? high tensile?

Thanks for all the help

The crank girdle bolts do the job to hold the engine to the stand. I used a stand that I thought looked pretty marginal (they are damn heavy) but there was no sign of problems, noises, cracking etc.

But for $50 extra why not, the last thing you want is to drop it and crack a plenum or something :cheers:

the 520kg would probably do it....as for the repco one if its the one I am thinking of thats a blue with extra gusteting that i have seen at repco we are using the same one supprting a fully assemble clevo and they are damn heavy!!! If you are going to buy one invest the extra money as it will last you a long time and serve more purpose!!!
