A standard kitchen table with 4 legs can often hold nearly 500 pounds if you are not moving it around much, a cube like frame made out of 2x4's with a ply wood top should be strong enough, while working on the suspension on my car I've set the corner of my Honda on a ply wood platform with caster wheels on it and rolled it around with out any noticeable stress on the wood or plastic wheels.
the engine and tranny bolted together for my Honda is light enough that two people can pick it up and carry it.
