well, thanks to all for the feedback, i am taking it slow on this

Engine blocks ... I don't like the idea of hanging your shelves from wood
stud walls using lag bolts. Much to be said for a straight vertical support
from the floor.

You're in the general neighborhood, I think. Boeing almost always has 500
lb load per shelf industrial shelving, $1 per shelf, cheap if you use plain
angle stock for the uprights instead of buying the posts ($10 per post, 2
posts to "start" and 2 posts per running section). I have a couple
thousand square feet of the stuff. Forget the clips, just assemble it with
5/16x1" bolts and nuts.
