Best Way To transport S63 motor?

JellyStyle · 03-27-2024, 05:35 PM

Is anyone a pro on the best way to transport a N63/S63 motor for a build?
don't want to do the pallet, requires too much. I prefer an engine stand or cradle, I'm wondering if anyone's put an N63 or S63 on either of them?

Wondering which would line up and work well, i prefer the craddle cause its more secure vs. an normal engine stand as transport is not the same as sitting on a shop floor.

Thougths?>

I would not recomend the engine stand (the first link) the engine is heavy and on transport it wil put bis stress on the pilar, because it will shake a lot.

The second one look beter, but i cant see where you bolt in on the engine.

I would put it on a pallet, standing on the engine mounts (possible on a wood blok), pull it back to the rear, and place an wood beam on the front under the engine.
Strap it tide and it will be fine, low point of gravity to.

If you want to protect the engine, put some plywood around the pallet,
