reminds me of years ago I bought a bare 427 block at a swap meet and tried to haul it out with a tired little red wagon. We'll the wheel broke about half way to the truck so my buddy is sitting on the block smoking a cig while i get the truck. Some guy walks by and say some smart ass , my buddies say "what never seen a big block power wagon" , we still get a cuckle at every swap meet when I buy something that is to big for my wagon. I bought 8 flywheels at one swap meet(boy they where heavy)

The "mopar engine stands" do not fit a small block, big block or early hemi.

Mine did the same thing Joe. I got some heavy 1 1/2" Angle stock and made a new base for the cradle and welded some good casters on.... Problem solved....
