Wish I had thought of that.
Thanks very much.

Engine compartment / Re: static engine storage stand

Thanks, I appreciate your suggestion.
Since I don't have a wheel dolly or a ramp and I do have a bunch of scrap 2x12, I still need dimensions.

I'll have an engine hoist with me to get it into and out of the truck since I'll be with my wife and the seller may not be available to assist.

Search engine AI assist says rail to rail width dimension is 24 inches but that seems ridiculous to me.  I am expecting 15 inches or so max and perhaps 2 ft in length

Engine compartment / static engine storage stand

« on: May 01, 2026, 08:20:02 PM »

I will be picking up an L134 engine next week.  I would like to build a stand or base to hold the engine in my truck bed.
Can anyone advise of the width dimension from oil pan side rail to oil pan side rail, the length from front oil pan rail to rear oil pan rail and the depth of the oil pan?

I plan to use 2x12 to build a box that the engine can sit in for transport.

Any comments or suggestions welcome.

Thanks.
Bruce

When I click on this link: Want to be listed in the serial # database
on the Database page, I get this:

For help, please send mail to the webmaster (your hosting provider), giving this error message and the time and date of the error.


How do I find the right post to figure out how to add my jeep to the list?

Thanks.
