This is exactly what I use.  It works so well we use it for everything -
including about a dozen pianos!

>>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.

Good luck,
