Motor stand

Are you referring to a CRADLE or a rotating work stand?
If 'referring to a STAND, any 4 "bell housing" bolts (at 'top & bottom) ought to mount it just fine on any such stand I would think.
If you don't have one yet, there's a new one out with an actual WHEEL on it to use when rotating the engine!

We used a good quality stand built for a big block when we would do the 4.6 32v stuff. The big block stands have a longer front leg and a little wider track.
They are top heavy with all the cams and big heads. As I recall, we had a hard time finding a good set of long bolts to go into the back of the block. That was the only issue. We found something that worked in our stash of 4.6 gear.
That baby will make a real nice conversation piece. Sort of like buying a gun, hope you never have to use it.

A standard engine stand will work fine
You will need 4 10mm 1.5 pitch bolts and I prefer grade 10.9; the length to be determined by the mounting arms on the engine stand.
The mounting points are the 2 holes that are level with the base of the intake and the 2 lowest threaded holes in the block
Let me know if I can answer any other questions
