Bricks you see on most buildings are usually just cladding and don't take
the weight of the building by themselves.  But they certainly are strong
enough to support your engine.  But I wouldn't use a very high stack!

But I'd use scrap wood for something like this--maybe 4x4s and 2x4s.  These
are easier to transport and work with than a bunch of bricks.
