air tools!!! The weight of the engine will keep it from moving too much, I just used my foot to hold the stand if I had to reef on something.

Never used a stand before, but I'd remove that third bracket, shift it to the second one to that tranny bell mount and place the fourth where the third was. Can't see as it is being an issue though!
Man that baby is black inside! Can't get over how dark the inside of the heads are!

The one on the right side lowest... Is the hole in the arm large enough for the engine's lowest dowel to fit inside? On the stand I'm working with, the two lowest arms are over the dowels and against the block with a bolt and nut through it.

The stand should support the torque of the head bolts. Might need to rest the stand near a bench to prevent the stand from circling around. Other than that no problems.
The supports should bolt to the two lower supports and two upper outward supports. I don;t have a clear picture, Adpros shows a decent pic.
Here's something,,,
