We've used an old car tyre and a couple of cheap straps before, it arrived alright 
having fun on a budget

Cling film! It is the dogs danglies for wrapping up and securing your engine. Just use a roll of heavy duty cling film to wrap around it and onto the
pallet. My mate moves lathes this way and I ship engines, G/boxes etc.

Fyi
Cling film works well for an engine on a pallet but we have found the best engine shipping solution is to use a cut down plastic drum.
The drum is secure, can be easily moved and hides the actual contents. Just make sure the drum is clean and had nothing hazardous in it

Ive ratchet strapped a car engine to a pallet and got some of that clingfilm from staples. Used the whole roll to wrap it up too.
Kindest Regards,
