Default Heavy Duty Engine Cradles for GM Big Blocks

For you Boaters looking to store or move around your Boat Engines, I build Heavy Duty Engine Cradles strong enough to support a
fully dressed Big Block Motor. Check them out on E-Bay SEARCH : BBC Engine Cradles

ezstriper,
It just so happens that I am working on the LS and the 426 Hemi now. The mounting plates are being laser cut early next week. I could have one ready in about a week
Thanks, Rich

Has anyone actually ran there engine on one of these cradles? I know that's not what they're intended for but.... I've looked at the prices of the run stands on the market and there not cheap.. I don't see any difference between those and these, other than mounts for things that don't concern me.
Thanks.

I would not be afraid to run an engine on this cradle . Very high quality heavy duty built . American made by an OSO brother that deserves our support .

These stands are perfect for transporting fully assembled Motors to and from the Dyno. Customers say they are great quality and worth the extra money.
You won't be sorry you bought one.
