Don, you can't let it sit on the oil pan, it will be flattened when it arrives.

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

The $10 at HF for ratchet straps and zip ties(to hold the excess strap) is well worth the $$. Then you know the engine is held down tight, and the buyer will be happy to have extra ratchets
