I'm glad I ask, because this ol ironheaded arking sparking brain - didn't even think of wood. I have some spare heavy casters I bought for one of my steel work benches but they were too high. I'm guessing one 6 by 4 from the old hammock stand would do and I think there's some left in the wood pile if I didn't use it all. I can make a rolling steel frame for the casters and anchor the wood on it once I figure out the COG. I thought about cutting a scrap P frame or cutting this one and put on caster but it's a waste. Front suspensions probably going to go anyway. A new custom frame is nice but pricey and I wouldn't need a stand but more storage room. I don't feel qualified to make one and drive it 150 mph with me in it. I'll just have to make sure the stand isn't worth more then this motor!
ps; I don't check in enuff, I missed a free '55 P V8 in the for sale listing.
