Are you talking about an engine dolly. I modified a standard dolly to use the front engine mount points on the early engines. Used it for many years on a 56 265 engine.
Here is a rough idea of what it looked like
I put the engine on the stand while still attached to the cherry picker. I mounted the front plates to the engine, then fabricated up the posts to attach the plates to the dolly.

If your just looking for ideas I suggest making a wood mock up. Heck you can make a full cradle out of wood, wheels included. 2x4's and a chop saw will do it and a wood cradle maybe all you want. Make a drop in cradle w/o wheels just to push into a corner for storage is all many need.
