Hi, I got some thick ply and mounted large castor wheels on the bottom. Then lowered the engine/gearbox on to that, undid the mounts and raised the car. Then the engine/gearbox can be rolled out from under. The trolley has proved useful for other things in the mean time and now has a spare engine and gearbox resting on it medium term. Makes it easy to move around when necessary.
