How I Made My Engine Dolly
I just set an oil pan between em and and marked where they needed to be a screwed it together.
Here's the one I built last year, I went a bit over kill on the base but I had access to the material so I built it like this. And I used 2x10s for the uprights and 2 2x10s and a 2x6 for the base. I put big castors on mine since my shop floor looks like a dairy parlor floor!! Rolled the 318 into a corner last night so I could roll my engine stand under the hoist to drop my 5.9 onto a cart to install in my Duster.
I think I'm gonna build a longer one out of square tubing that can hold a k-member with all the steering and brakes, engine with headers and either an auto or manual trans, to use to remove and install engine/trans/suspension on cars. I'll make so it's completely adjustable to fit different stuff and easy to take apart to store.
