No, So far I only have the design for GM motors but all i need is a spare block and I could design one to fit anything. Mine are built with 4" casters rated for 330 # each.

The one I posted is the only one that you can put a fully dressed engine on.

The Laser cut tabs at the rear have laser cut holes to take the 5/8" bell housing dowels and are radiused to clear the ring gear on a 14" flywheel

Crusader Pallets works for pretty much everything (smaller than a 9l Diesel) and roadworthy. ATV jack gets them around the barn quick & easy. Great for running engines too.

Just wondering how much interest there is in a better engine cradle that is designed and built better than the 1" square tubing units sold by
JEG's and Summit Racing.

Any Comments ??
