JY PERFORMANCE LS Engine Stand Cradle for GM Chevy V8 LSx Engines — Rolling 3" Caster Storage & Work Stand

JY PERFORMANCE's LS Engine Stand Cradle is a heavy-duty, rolling support designed to store, move and work on GM Chevy V8 LSx engines safely and conveniently.

This compact engine cradle is built specifically for LS-series V8 motors—LS1, LS2, LS3, LS6, LS7 and LSX—and their transmissions. Constructed from high-strength steel with four 3" swivel caster wheels and 12" clearance, it gives you a stable platform for maintenance, rebuilds, engine swaps or tidy storage in a crowded garage. The kit ships with mounting hardware and straightforward instructions so you can get your engine secured quickly and start working.

How does this cradle protect and stabilize my LS engine?

The cradle's welded steel frame holds the engine at multiple secure points to prevent tipping or shifting while you work. Its broad base distributes weight evenly and the precision-fit pockets align with common LS engine mounting locations for a snug fit.

• High-strength steel frame resists flex under load
• Multiple contact points match LS engine mounting geometry
• Wide base reduces rocking during repairs or transport
• Durable black finish resists workshop wear

Can I move an engine around my shop with this stand?

Yes — the cradle includes four 3" swivel casters that roll smoothly and rotate for tight maneuvering. The wheels make it simple to reposition a heavy motor, whether you’re moving it to an engine hoist, cleaning bench, or storage shelf.

• Four 3" swivel caster wheels for easy multidirectional movement
• Caster design suited for typical concrete and shop floors
• 12" clearance lets the cradle clear low obstacles and ramps
• Compact footprint fits through common garage door openings

Is assembly difficult and what comes in the kit?

Assembly is designed to be quick and straightforward: the cradle arrives with all necessary fasteners and clear instructions. Most users can assemble and mount an engine in minutes with basic hand tools, no specialized equipment required beyond an engine hoist to lift the motor onto the cradle.

• Complete mounting hardware included for immediate setup
• Step-by-step instructions reduce guesswork
• No welds or custom modifications needed for standard LS engines
• Works with engines and transmissions for versatile use

Will this cradle fit my specific LS engine or transmission?

The design targets the LS family of engines commonly used in GM applications, covering LS1 through LS7 and LSX configurations. While it accommodates the standard mounting points for these engines and typical transmissions, always verify fitment for heavily modified blocks or non-standard bellhousing offsets.

• Compatible with LS1, LS2, LS3, LS6, LS7 and LSX engines
• Supports engines with typical GM transmission bolt patterns
• Check roofline, accessories, or custom mounts before final fit
• Ideal for stock or near-stock LS builds and rebuild projects
