Easy way to roll stuff around! (Esp engine cradle + trans)
Some 2x4's (I cut to 11", whatever works for you) and some $2 caster wheels from ace hardware. Everything's got 3" screws through it all, so it's pretty damn strong.
Makes rolling this thing around a BREEZE! Just throwing out a suggestion.

Re: Easy way to roll stuff around! (Esp engine cradle + trans)
Dave its easy to see you are picture happy and love to take pictures and thats good. I was wondering during your motor swap have you removed your console? I don't know if you removed it to get the shifter out of the body or anything. If you did could you by chance take a pic of the front console mounting bracket. I'm gonna do a 97+ console swap on my car and i don't have that bracket so i would like to see what one looks like. Thanks.
Ps those carts look like they work pretty good for rolling the k-member around. I was lucky and had access to a Semi truck transmission jack. It was strong and big enough i could put my whole K-member and tranny on it and jack it up back into the body.

Just put my engine in last night. I had two floor jacks. One under k-member, and one under the tranny. Casters would be easier to roll around though.

Looks like I'm going to make something like that too next time I pull my motor. When I did it last time, I used 3 jacks to support everything. It was a little bit of a pain to line up all 3 sometimes but it worked.
