I'm getting ready to pull my 76 280Z into the garage to start a rebuild. I'm trying to get everything together first, but I can't find any info on what the engine weighs. I need to make sure I get an engine stand that will safely support the engine. Any help will be appreciated.

It's around 350 pounds without the manifolds.

Even the wimpiest of engine stands should be able to handle that ( unless they're designed for a lawnmower engine, heh heh. ) But do go by the rating on the stand, which should be much higher.
