Engine cradle

Thanks, I could have used those numbers. I like your design with the transmission support much better than what I cobbled up. My transmission is resting on a folding table, which happened to be exactly the right height to slide it onto from the tailgate without any lifting. Not lifting was a priority, since my helper had a bad back, and I didn't have a hoist available at the time.
Your are welcome. I rigged up a 12 volt winch with double line to lift my engine. I understand about the lifting. I am too old for that. Thanks for the reply.
