The slight "down pitch" is part of what sent my engine sliding....

Mine has casters. I'd say they're a bit on the overkill side... lol
Plus the SS I-beam is overkill too...
The downside is I need to have my gantry modified so I have 12 ft clearance. It's 10 ft and I have the casters off and it's up on blocks to get clearance to pull the engine "with out" the blowers on.

The SS I-beam weighs a few hundred lbs... I can probably get more in scrap for the I-beam than I can for the whole gantry!
I was thinking about scraping the I-beam, replacing it with a steel beam or even aluminum, then use the difference to have the A-frames modified so I can get the clearance I need.

I'm not a welder though so I'd have to get someone local to check it out for me.
