How I Made My Engine Dolly

pauly said

Nice simple idea! Your garage corner looks like mine. I think mine currently has a 383, a 440, a 400, two 360's, two 340's, a 241 Hemi and a 354 Hemi. May be adding another 400 only because the price is right! I think I need to stand mine up on end like you did - would save some space!

I hear ya. I have over a dozen engines (mostly small block and one 400). We are trying to organize everything so we have room to work and get a few of our cars running. Currently building three 360's for various projects.


The ones without cranks in them are easiest to stand on end, the cranks make them wobbly. With cranks, I like the dolly to store them. I just pick up the engine with the hoist and then drop them on the dolly, and I'm ready to roll it anywhere I need it. You can put an engine on them without an oil pan and with a crank, but it is not as stable as with the oil pan on.

Are you close to Detroit? I go there now and then to visit family.
