Tips for starting engine on the ground

Something to this effect. Where the engine can sit down in the cradle, with cross pieces to help keep it upright, and fasten the mounts so it sits still. You would want it long enough to be able to put a support under the trans as well.

I would build it out of 2x8's or 2x10's, whatever is deep enough to allow it to sit down on the oil pan rails with the oil pan in place.
