Engine storage cradle

Several years ago, someone posted plans for a rolling Oldsmobile engine storage cradle. I would now like to build a couple of these. I can't find the post now. IF someone would provide the drawing, I would certainly appreciate it.

For what it will cost to build one, these are a possible alternative...

I believe Don posted a sketch that Mdchanic (Eric) had drawn up for many of us to copy. Perhaps "Eric" will chime in on this if correct for Oldsmobile engines.

Yup, that's the thread.

It's easier to see when you post the image like this:



Sorry it took me a while to run into this - I was at work.

One could do the engine cradle on the cheap by using wood instead of steel tubing. Notice the wooden engine cradle on the last link posted by John.
