The span probably about 18 inches max and I am sure a reasonable quality 2x4 [which you seem to have plenty of] would handle the 500 - 700 lbs. If paranoid then a 4x4 or double up the 2x4. Some 3/8 threaded rod, some fender washers and nuts an you're done.
That way you save you aluminum for some metal working projects.
Hmmm, I'm liking the sounds of this. I do have chunks of 4x4 I could use and some threaded rod.
