Who sells decent engine cradles for BB??

[bill440rt]

I need to get my engine from the machine shop, to the dyno shop, then back to my house. It's painted and detailed, so using a flat tire or some blocks of wood is not an option. I'm looking for one of those engine cradles used for transport/storage.
I'll probably only use this stand twice, because once it gets back to the house it's going on a regular engine stand to finish it off and then right in the car.
Does anyone know where to find a decent one and not break the bank? It needs to be sturdy enough for transporting an engine, not just for static storage.

Thanks!

    I bought a BBM cradle at the Rhinebeck swap meet for $30 at some chinese tool vendor.   

Fear not... fall E-town swap is fast approaching!

Thanks, guys.
Tan Top, I'm going to call Mancini tomorrow about the one they have pictured. 

I spoke to Summit today about theirs, they do NOT recommend using it for engine transport. It's great for rolling it around the garage or for static storage, but not to transport an engine. I don't think we'll be flying around turns or anything, but I still want something sturdy enough just in case.
Jeg's has one as well, but it looks even more flimsy.

Anyone else?

Bought mine also at Mancini, somewhat cheaper model but the wheels was an option. Works great for storing or transporting.

I used the Summit one to transport my engine home from the builder.  I put it in the middle of the truck bed and blocked the wheels and then tied it off 4 directions with ratcheting straps.  Never moved.  I don't like any of the engine cradles I have seen.  None are really worth a flip.  I don't understand why someone doesn't build one using decent thickwall square tubing.  There is really nothing to them.  The wheels on the one from Summit were not up to my standards either.  I am thinking of building one in the future like I want.  Didn't have any choice on the Summit piece since I had to move the engine right away.  There was a bunch in California that had one that I googled up but they have gone out of business.

I'm probably going with the cheaper one from Mancini, about $65 bucks. They said it would be fine to transport an engine for occasional use, but is mostly recommended for storage. It's only going to be on it twice, then it's in the car.

I did speak with this company: www.drcraceproducts.com
They offer a heavy duty cradle stand, that many racers use on the weekends to transport their extra engines to the track. It's designed for both transport and storage. It's a little pricey at about $150 bucks, but they look pretty sturdy.

I've found this, which looks pretty decent http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-G1053/ but wondered if anyone had found any others they liked.

I ended up purchasing the one from Mancini. It appears to be the exact same thing Summit offers in that link.
It worked out fine, and was plenty sturdy for what I needed it for. And, it was cheaper in price and a very good quality.

who's Mancini seen them talked about a few times, but have no idea.
