Joea,
I brought my engine for dyno in my pickup a month or so ago. I used 2x6 on end and kinda made a square box. Set the motor inside my Aviad pan had about a 1" clearance from the bottom. I used two 1x2 about 12" long one at the front of the motor the other at the rear. I drilled a 3/8 hole in one end and attached it to the motor the other end of the 1x2 I screwed to the 2x6. I Drove it this way about 300 miles to LA. No problems. I also screwed the entire setup onto a 4x8' piece of plywood in my truck. I strapped it down also to keep the motor/cradle from sliding. I can give more detail if you would like.
Mike
