I came across a different designed engine cradle for spare engines that I "think" will work on our 4G63's and almost any other engine. It will hold up to 750lbs and isn't the typical SBC/SBF design. This just holds the engine on the oil pan rails and comes with 2 hold down straps. I am not positive it will work, but AGAIN, I will be the guinea pig.
Here are a couple pictures and I will be transferring my engine to this as soon as the valve cover and front cover hold down hardware gets here and installed. I will post pictures so all can see.

Looks promising. A few years ago I had to get a new engine for the Kia I owned at the time, and that engine was shipped on a mini pallet. I modified the pallet to be an engine storage stand [of sorts] for the 6 bolt that's now in my Spyder. I might get one of these and modify it as needed so it works. Would have been nice to have casters on that pallet a few times.

Go to Harbor Freight and get one of their $19.99 wood dollys and put it under that pallet and/or screw it to it. You will love being able to move it around. I plan to mod one or two of my dollys to do the same thing. 👍
 
Use soft rubber casters, similar to what an older Razor scooter or speed board would have. That way it doesn't quit rolling on a hair pin or other typical garage debris. Thank me later. That's what I use on my creepers and dolleys :D
You can get them from hardware vendors with a decent enough load range. Life is slightly shorter but usability and convenience is unmatched.
