Good point on the backlash. I was going to make this thing collapsible but with my tendency for having stuff sit around , this will probably always have a 350 or 6bt on it. Bolt pattern is 4 inch so its going to put about 4000 lbs tension at most on the top bolts, not much for 1/2 bolts going into 5/8 thick material. I think my engine is bigger than life, its not scaled yet. I have it 40 inches from top of valve cover to bottom of oil pa. 7Inch spacing between uprights could be reduced, 2.5 Square tubing on those, 3inch on Horizontal parts. Unit will get casters but my engine hoist is made by john Deere so no worries there
