Default engine dolly

Ihave a 95 LT1 and manual six speed that i just recivedfor my c1 restomod project. I built a dolly so I could roll it around my shop. My question isthe harmonic balancer (crank pulley) is what is setting on the dolly in front is this bad (possible crank warping)? Thanks Scott

If that's all that is supporting the engine on the front then yes I'd say you need to likely rethink it. If there's "none to very little" weight on the balancer then maybe not. Why not just redo it anyway? If you were concerned enough to ask the question then I'd likely just do it differently.
