well, i dont know how you would bolt it to the stand w/ the tranny attached, so no on the first question, and w/ tranny off it bolts up where the tranny goes, so yes on the second.

~300 save the transmission.

That will do just fine. I bought my stand from Autozone, and it worked just fine for ~ a year

i would because of the price, but its really not much help unless you are building internals and need to rotate the motor upside down and stuff like that. for $40 though, i would pick it up.
