Does anyone have expirience with adapting a rolling SBC engine storage stand like one of the below to work with an LT5 block?

Yep, the block has been sold.

Unless you have the stand shown already, why not just buy a Delco engine stand from O-Reillys? I think they are about $60. i have 3 and they're OK.

So was this a good deal? My question was on the heads..... old photos etc.

I figured it was about a $3,000 package but many unknowns and a long drive or $550 to ship.

Picking it up on Wednesday together with Rick and Dave. I just hope this turns out real and the block and heads have no serious issues. I'm not so concerned about the crank, pistons, and liners as I have something else in mind. Thanks again to everyone who helped with advise.

Hey, its exciting just the same. You will either be elated or perhaps let down but it has to be worth at least $1,000 unless the block is $$#$.

It's a gamble but I think you will be happy. I was going buy it but didn't feel like paying $550 to ship it and the only truck I have is a panel truck that gets about 10 miles per gallon.

Thanks Jerry,
For now I plan to store it in the corner of my size-challenged garage taking up little room as possable. I was thinking one of these little roller stands would just be the ticket if it could some how be bolted up to the LT5 block . Unfortuatly there are no O-Reillys stores in the DC area.
