The engine storage hangar at Fantasy of Flight has a about 150 old
engines... WWI and WWII mostly.
This is how they were crated/shipped (I believe the guide said this was an
engine out of an F-4U Corsair.
Anyway... the engine is mounted onto this barrel as you can see. another
barrel is lowered over the engine and bolted to the lower half barrel.
Then
they simply rolled them on/of transports, boats, etc...
pretty ingenious.




Very clever indeed. I would think they'd be able to do this with radial
engines, but in-line engines would be conventional crates.
