Made one for my
'69 bronco build. It's been working out great. I've even had to load it on a trailer and temporarily store the tub in my garage. Traveled great!
The only thing I would do different is get better wheels. I didn't go with a high enough load rating and they don't swivel as easily as I would like.
I'll try and dig around for the materials list and see what I have into it cost-wise.

you could cut them in half on the riser, and make them height adjustable.

i think it would be more than ample, think how much a big block chevy weighs by itself, and can be held by one stand, even if they are lengthened, there will be two.
