DIY engine dolly?

[bitchin'71SS]

has anyone out there built their own engine dolly? Just seeing if anyone has some plans/dimensions on this to save me some time in the planning stage.

Thanks

Alright, so here's what I came up with:

I can make a drawing for it if anyone's interested in building a similar thang.

Put me in line for those too. I had on of the cheapie ones, it sat too low. I did fire an engine on it but the headers burned the paint off. Oops. I don't think it would take much to get yours into a test stand. Old tach and a cheap set of sunpro gauges.

Thanks guys, yeah it is real solid. 77nomad, I do plan on using it as a test stand. i'll just take the casters off and bolt it up to a couple lengths of c-channel.

When I get a chance I'll draw something up and try to get it on here. It was a good project, real happy with the way it came out.. might even powder coat it lol.

Heres the basic dimensions, sorry for the crappy cell phone pic. I left the back pretty open for the flywheel. i will also be making a guage/ign panel for it as well as a bolt-on radiator apparatus of some sort.

And here is my roommate taking it for a test drive.
