Personally pay a little bit extra than the one Steven is using above and get the one with 2 legs on either side and not just one in the centre. More stable.

911

I have had my 911 flat 6 on my 'one leg'stand and the Scooby lump; it is strong enough but a twin leg would be better when you start to fight difficult bolts etc.

I just bought an engine stand like this with 2 legs, but I actually haven't dared to use it yet. Can the 4 gearbox mounts really support the weight of the engine? To me, it looks scary

911

Yes. no probs
Try hanging a 911 off the 4 bolts for a challenge to sensibility.
The stand will actually bend a lot when you first remove the engine hoist.
