I went out and mocked up a support for my 455 - the pan is off, so didn't
have to lift anything.
I would recommend 2x10s for the sides and back and a 2x8 for the front of
the pan.
the inside measurements of your box (about one inch off square) should be
24" length, 10.5" for the front and rear. (inside measurements)
using the 2x8 for the front allows for the lip to still have support.
