How much does 2F motor weigh?

[Soul_Man]

This was discussed on the Specter board, but never actually answered.
I'm going to be buying an engine stand to rebuild my 2F, and would like to know an actual weight of the motor. Please no comments like "they gotta be at least xxx pounds". If anyone knows an actual dry weight that would be great, alternatively if anyone has used engine stands that worked (ie. if you used a 750 lb stand without any problems?). I'm looking at 1000 lb stands, but could save some $$ on a 750 lb stand.
I know they weigh more than most motors (like Chevy V-8's) so I need to know if I need anything special for a stand.

SOR says engines weigh "approximately 600 lbs" to ship.

Get the good stand. I have both and the lighter one is good for keeping an engine off the floor but I wouldn't rebuild anything heavier than a VW on it. The heavier one is more stable and doesn't feel all flexible when trying to work on the engine. Nothing like trying to torque a head while the stand feels like it's gonna flop on the floor.
