Does anyone make an engine dolly for 4G63s?

...or is this something I'll have to figure out on my own? I need my engine stand back, but I don't want to put the engine that's on it currently on a tire. I'd rather find a cradle / dolly than get a second stand, since the dolly would have a smaller footprint.

Link below to what I'm talking about, if anyone is scratching their heads.

No one makes one for the 4g63, youd have to make one yourself. That being said, I just use a 2x10, and make a "box" that goes around the oil pan and set the motor into it. Just have to either remove the oil drain tube from the turbo, or notch out a spot for it.

That's not a bad idea- and I could probably screw that 'box' to a cheapo furniture dolly to scoot it around the garage.
 
Yeah exactly, thats what I do. I also cut little handles in to lift it on both ends as well, just cut the two side boards about a foot long on either side, then make little pockets on the bottom to lift from. That way you dont have to get the engine crane to move it every time too.
