Cradle for temporary engine storage

[broncosbybart]

If you are keeping the engine/trans connected, you can let the tail of the assembly rest on the trans. Then put wooden 4x4's and 2x4's (whatever height is required) along the length of the oil pan rails on each side of the engine to support the block by the pan rails. Quick, easy, and you are like most of us, you probably already have enough scraps laying around to do it with.

Edit, chuzie beat me to the post. At least we have the same advice
