Are you talking about a fixture to put a engine in on the floor? If so it can be made with some lumber very cheap and quickly. If you need a idea just look at any crate motor they all should have em! Might ask at the local Jasper replacement engine installer they may give you one of the "shipping crates".

Northern Tool sells a universal cradle for $35. Although I imagine some scrape 2x4's and some cheap casters would work as well.
