Default engine removal question..

i'm planning on dropping my motor soon, and I've read all the tutorials I've found, but idk where i can get a cart thing to set the engine on, but I've seen some people drop the engine without the cart thing from the bottom, and they just leave the wheels on the front... is there any tutorial showing how to do this or what? it seems to be a lot easier.

help, thanks..

I got a hydraulic tabe from harbor freight for around $250. It has worked great for removing my engine and trany (twice now). Here's some pics...

Nice looking motor. Yeah this a good choice. Used it only once. The horse worked better for me though.

Search the web for movers dollies. I used a wood dolly for $40 shipped to me. Easily supported my k-member with engine and trans attached and made the engine removal so easy. Cant list the website I used cause they are not a sponsor.
