    Rated 4 out of 5 by from Wheels I have a painted shop floor so I did not want to make use of the steel wheel kit -- I was disappointed that the wheel mounting thread is a metric 12 mm. Had a hard time finding polly wheels rated for the weight without spending an arm and a leg.

    Rated 4 out of 5 by from Does the job, but needed the job So I've been looking for awhile for a cradle for my 5.2 magnum. This engine and it's sibling the 5.9 have been in hundreds of thousands of vehicles, including my Jeep Grand Cherokee. So I would have thought it would be easy to find one labeled 5.2/5.9L Magnum cradle, but no. Never found one. And after reading tons of threads on the subject, I took a chance on one made for the LA block. Didn't work. So then I tried this one. Works, but needed some modding. The rear bars needed to be shortened by about 1/2" to fit the mount on the rear. So after trimming and repainting, including the spots that jegs missed when they built it. I got it together. I wasn't to confident with the hardware that held the front of the block, so I upgraded that too. But after all that, its holding my spare engine just fine over in the corner of the garage. If you got a zawzal/jigsaw or any saw that can cut metal, some paint, then you can make it work for a 5.2/5.9 magnum. I'd recommend this one, because as far as I know, this and the allpar version are the only ones that fit the 5.2/5.9 magnum engine. With no other choices, it can be made to fit the engines.

    Rated 3 out of 5 by from Requires modification for 318/360 Magnum. As mentioned by other reviewers, this required modification to make a Magnum 318 fit. I had to cut about 1/2 inch off the back legs to make the engine fit. Also, after assembled, mine was kinda bent, so I had a bit of a difficult time getting bolt holes to line up. Finally, the bolts that came with to mount the engine are useless and require replacing. The bolts for rear mounting are the wrong thread, the bolts that go through the mounting tabs on the sides of the engine are too short. Either it’s a quality control issue or the item itself needs some tweaks. Nothing that can’t be easily fixed. 3/5. Easily a 4/5 or 5/5 if they fixed these minor issues.

    Rated 3 out of 5 by from Not a bolt on cradle for small block LA MOPARS! I had a fun day yesterday installing this 555-800643 ENGINE CRADLE SB MOPAR on my 318 I finally received on Friday. I wanted to pass on some pics and information about this cradle for the next SB Mopar Cradle purchaser/installer. The left and right front motor mount points lined up perfectly on this cradle, but the back two were a different story. I had to cut off about 3/4" of the top of the tube to clearance the block and the then the down on the back of the block would lied up with the whole....but no other holes to install a bolt into the block! So, I had to drill a hole into each bracket to align with the hole in the block for the nut and bolt. Long story here is....I'm thinking someone was drinking when they either welded the flat piece of metal on, or they much have been a chivy guy messing with us Mopar folks...LOL!! I then received the roller casters(sen in the pics) from Amazon just in time to install since the Jegs casters were going to be on back order until February! Either way, I've attached the pics for your viewing and to pass onto your product improvement department etc...

    Rated 3 out of 5 by from Replace some hardware and tap the caster threads I used this on a Magnum 318 and transported it in the bed of the Dodge the 318 was destined for. The actual stand itself is fine, but the lower bolts are not. Replace these with decent bolts as large as you can fit and REALLY crank them down. My bolts belt immediately and the entire stand warped. I was able to straighten it (which may not be a great sign lol), and replaced the bolts with beefier ones and on a return trip it stayed in tact. Also avoid the 'Related Purchase" casters. Mine broke immediately. You may even want to run a tap through the caster threads to ensure they are the right size. I plan on getting better casters locally and running a tap through them.

    Rated 2 out of 5 by from BTRR3652 This cradle did not fit my 360 SB. Only reason I gave it two stars is that I was able to modify it and make it work. The left front mount had to be narrowed 1/4", (wouldn't fit between mounting ears on block). Both rear upright tubes had to be cut down 3/4" because ears sticking out on back of block prevented it from lowering down and then the only predrilled holes that fit were the dowel pin holes. Had to drill two more holes, (1 each side) below dowel holes for bolts. Don't know why they couldn't have welded the two back plates on the inside of the uprights and don't know if a made in USA cradle would have fit or not. Oh yeah, also one of the tubing caps was missing and had to have one shipped which I did receive next day. Great customer service!

    Rated 1 out of 5 by from Worst Jegs product I have ever purchased I purchased this as a quick cradle for my 340 until it could get into an engine stand. One bolt through mounting point worked the other required 1/4 inch of material to be ground off. One of the bell housing bolt holes worked and the rest would have had to be drilled to work. This is a terrible product and should be removed from the site it a better version replaced. I may as well have lit a hundred dollar bill on fire.
