Here is the engine removed and set on the dolly I built. It is basically 2x6 rails, with a plywood floor, and some bracing. The wheels are sealed bearing rollers which came off the ladders used in an ATT telephone switch center. It rolls easily with a good push, and gets the engine out of the way as needed. I put the head back on to keep the dust out of course. No idea how I am going to pick it back up to put in the frame one day. That is known as a good problem, as that means I would have the car reassembled at that point...
