When I transport an engine, I make a box of 2x8's that's just a little larger than the oil pan. Then, you place the engine down into the box so it ends up resting on the row of bolts around the outside perimeter of the pan.

That way, there's no bouncing load in the bottom of the pan and you can bind the engine down tight to the pallet.
