I'm in the beginning stages of a hellcat swap for my Dart. I'm thinking the way to put this motor and trans in the car will be with the K member from the bottom so I was looking at the USCT K member stand at Carlisle and it looks perfect for the job. As good as it looks, I really can't justify spending $700 for a tool I will use once then take up valuable space. Any chance someone out there would rent/loan one for a few months? I can leave a deposit and pickup/return when done. I'm in southeast PA near Philadelphia if anyone is close.
Thanks,
Bill
 
I made these 1 for removing the 5.9 magnum with 46re trans, 1 for the gen 3 hemi with tko 5 speed.
It was the easiest engine/ trans removal I have ever done.
3 harbor freight furniture dolly's per engine/trans.

Yep thats what i am doing for my one, doesnt need to loom pretty given its used for a whole ten minutes. Did think of making a steel one that comes apart, but given i am a builder and its literally scap timber having to remake it down the road isnt time consuming or costly
 
I build mine very similar to Cudafish's above. scrap wood and a cart, easy to store when you are done.
 
Menard's furniture dollies have larger diameter wheels/better casters. It may be an issue if the floor you are using them on is not smooth. just something I found out in my garage that is, shall we say, a bit needy in the smooth department.
 
I welded one up but all the above look great also. Maybe your better at this than me but I have had the motor in and out many times for fitment. Being able to roll the engine and tranny in and out is extremely convenient!!!! Putting things in from the bottom is by far the easiest. Especially if you have a lift.
