Oil drain bolt recessed.
Triumph sump:

Oil drain bolt protuding.
I take it I need to take the plug out and keep it out of the Triumph if I plan on sliding this engine around or storing it unsupported on the sump.
Find an appropriate sized plank of wood, drill a hole in it a tad bigger diameter than the sump plug, bingo. It'll be much more stable as well.

That thought occurred to me. I decided to go with the slug method: Remove the plug and leave a trail of oil. The oil might make it easier to slide.
