  • Section 3 - Shop work before engine can be disassembled. 
    I have a 2015 5.7 Hemi that I bought seized (#8 rod bearing). To free up my engine stand I needed a way to store the extra HEMI for future rebuild. I found a YouTube video outlining how to build an engine cradle from 2x8 Lumber and an Harbor Freight furniture dolly. 
    Purchased one 30x16 dolly $17
    8ft of 2x8 Douglas Fir lumber $12.37
    Total cost about $30 for a quick home built engine cradle.
