I wouldn't say "Just as important ". All my engine stands have 3 castors, and I have several. I have rebuilt Olds 455s, Ford 460s, BBCs, SBCs and many other engines much heavier than a flathead. Hell I even did a 5.9 Cummins diesel on a 3 wheel stand. I have never had one tip. You just have to be a little careful with them and use common sense. The 4 wheelers take up too much room in my shop.
