    190KG for the m50, you do the math.

        M50 weighs 250-300 pounds. You are set to go.

        Edit: M50 weighs over 400 LBS? M30 weighs more than the M50 and the M30 only weighs 300 LBS.

                Agreed.

                That said, I have my S50 on the same stand Jon linked above.

                  To me it's a moot point, as long as the thing doesn't tip over when I'm using it, then I'm cool.

                  The motor will be on the stand for a while anyways, since I need to source the parts I'll be using to build up the motor.

                      I will add support to the 4 wheeled is better motion.

                      I just finished building my m20 on one of the three wheeled ones and wish I would have got a 4 wheeled one. Anytime you have to turn the engine over you have to stand on the side of the engine stand to keep it from tipping.

                        I think I might get that 4 wheeled 1000 lb. one... Nothing like overkill on something like that.

                          i dont trust those shitty 3 wheeled stands either. i have to roll my engine outside too so i can vision disasters happening.

                            I thought the m20 weighed over 1500lbs...just get this one.
                            If it doesn't how do I add weight so I can make sure my car doesn't lean as much?

                              me to. and it DOES lean. its pretty scary looking, and dont even try to rotate it by yourself. BUT i have had mine on this stand for like 3 months without it breaking.
