Got Bored v6 engine cradle

[Hotfoot]

Got tired of the 4.1 sitting on the ground so I got a sbc engine cradle and modded it for my v6.
Cut 1/2” off top of front mount to clear block and elongated holes 1/4” for mount bolts
Cut front legs off flush with bottom of bar
Bolted front legs to block and bolted block to cradle, got framing square and marked for vertical cut and total width. Cut off maybe 1” from bottom of leg and welded together for a nice addition to the garage.

That's pretty slick.

That’s a good idea!
Thanks for the tip.

Nice work and a good way to escape to the workshop for a few hours.

I saw one of those save a GN long block from a 4' fall when a bolt on a hoist broke.
I saw the bolt was going to break and before I could say anything PLOP! Bent the cradle but landed perfect.
