Sorry no help here but think some of the other guys have put one together to do their motor.

Somebody makes one, with casters even. If can find that might have dimensions somewhere

I used one for a BB Chevy for my 383. The bell housing bolt holes line up, but I had to use a big piece of wood to support the front. Works fine. Mine has casters too. Garage sale gold.

Don't have any dimensions. I have built probably 15-20 of these cradles over the years for my engines. Just have to measure and mock it all up. Tack it together then weld it all up.

I don't know your real need, but wood is lots easier.
Once you get the engine hanging just cut and assemble.

I have had engines fall over or off of the wood crates before when running over the dreaded driveway cracks.

There is something on the market now that might help with that.

True. Steel is always free to me, so it's just a little labor to cut and weld them up.
