Does anyone know where I can get a chevy engine cradle, similar to the one in the link below, but from the UK?

Ask Frost.co.uk they don't have them on their web site but they are agents for Eastwood.

I do have a very similar frame (minus casters) but plan to use it shortly when my engine comes out.

Would not be difficult to make one.

Problem with those cradles is they use the bellhousing mounts at the rear, which means you're screwed if you want to dial-in the bellhousing.

I've got a set of these...

Was v.lucky to find mine on ebay.com and the seller agreed to ship them to me (shipping cost more than my winning bid, but was worth it).

Mine just sits on an engineers trolley on blocks even with the transmission attached.

Agreed, I can't remove the sump or rotate the engine. But why would I want to, it was brand new a couple of months ago and is being fitted pretty much bog standard.

Stand cost - nothing - I already had it!!
