This is exactly what I use. It works so well we use it for everything - including about a dozen pianos! Alan Grobey '91 Carat Sherwood, OR >>Steve, I made a dolly out of 2x6's and some heavy duty casters. It worked great. I lowered the engine down on to it, and then rolled it out from under the van. It made the installation easy also. I think the whole thing cost under $25.00 for the board casters and carriage bolts to hold it together. Fast and cheap, and hey, it even works.
