Does anyone have dimensions of a LS truck motor to be able to build out of wood for transport?

I'm going to be picking up an LS truck motor, and hoping to build a wood dolly if you will...for transport in the back of my trailer.

I found dimensions of the engine several other places, but none give the width between engine mount brackets or mount holes on the blocks.

Normally with most motors, I just flop them on their side, ratchet strap/chain them down and go, but with an aluminum pan, heads, etc...I really want to transport this expensive motor the right way without incident.

Anybody have plans or build their own out of wood for transport?
Or, do I employ the good ol' dead truck tire under the motor once again?

 

You could use 1 or 2 tires and set the deep part of the oil pan down into the center then rachet it down tight.

 

Unfortunately only have 1 tire, and it's not too supportive anymore. Flattened it out likea-pannakake!

I'm hoping to keep all weight off of the oil pan if possible. That's why I was hoping to keep it lifted either by the sides of the block, or by the mounts hanging off the side.
Kind of like those nifty cheap steel chevy engine roll around dolly's but - out of wood, and no casters.

 

I've always used a tire. Drive around on some back roads and look for an old tire in a ditch or something.

 

Exactly what I was gonna say or use metal.

Or 1 or 2 more tires.

 

that's a good idea. or the used tire place at the flea market and find a big mud tire.
