Message	Not sure how much the VG weighs, but a fully assembled longblock with turbo's would be getting close to that. I would, however, trust the 1000lb one. I had my engine on there for a year without any problems, and even rotating it wasn't that big of a deal. If the craigslist one has the "I" configuration(1000lb one) I'd go for that one. Yanking it for the first time isn't that bad, just time consuming so don't be in a rush! Label things and you'll be fine, and don't let forget to do other stuff "while you're there"..
