Here's my fabricated stand alongside the Amazon one
I hadn't noticed in description, but the Amazon one also came with a couple of engine straps included in the deal.
The one feature the steel one does not have, is that the caster don't lock.
My casters not yet attached to the fabricated one - I will actually leave them off for transporting the engine this weekend. I'll just put the Stand in back of truck without wheels, lower engine off the hoist onto it and strap it down.
See image below - my engine is still in the car, '58 DelRay - that's a 145HP 235 - literally going straight from the DelRay Engine Bay into back of the truck.
Even though the casters for the wooden one lock, just safer with the frame sitting flat on bed of truck and really no need for them at that point
When I get back, I will lift the engine from the stand on the truck and drop it onto the steel one on the floor.
Then install the casters on the wooden one for when I remove the current engine from the truck.
Work to do before that of course!
