All you need two flat pieces of 1/4" steel and some 2X2 steel tubing. Drill and bolt the flat plate to the motor mounts then weld a piece of 2X2 going straight down mate it to another 2X2 going front to back. Basically an upside down T shape with an angled plate on top.

I believe Kieth Craft or Gessford makes/sells them.

He also makes a slightly wider version for engines with a wide oil pan. I needed the wider one with my Aviaid pan.

I put wheels on my cradle so I could roll it around.

Same thing here, it's a nice stand... (get the wide one if you have a t-pan)

The only thing cooler would be one with interchangable heads for different engines.
