I made some simple stands out of wood for storage, pretty easy to figure out & make.

I've several made from grocery carts. Cut the top off (As shown by green lines in photo) and set a big truck tire (Like a 35/12.5/16) on it and set the engine on the tire. Remarkably stable and the wheels don't flat spot after sitting for a year without being moved like most cheap wheels will do.

Throw a couple ratchet straps on it for the ride over to storage and your good.

Or put some good casters on a piece of 1" plywood with a tire.

Very similar to the wooden engine storage pallets we used for aircraft recip engines.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world.

Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
