Will it hold a fully assembled V8?

A dressed V8 with iron heads and accessories can approach the 750 lb rating. Strip it down or use a heavier stand for a complete engine.

Can the hoist lift an engine out of a truck?

The hoist is meant for lifting a motor on and off the stand and short moves. It does not have the reach or height of a full engine crane.

The mounting head turns so you can work on the pan, heads and timing chain. Lock it before letting go of a loaded engine.

With the legs folded it stores against a wall. Set up, allow room around the casters to swing an engine through a turn.

You need the stand's mounting arms and the bolts that match your engine's bellhousing pattern. Those bolts are usually not included.
