It just won't fit...

Hubscrub · 01-30-2015, 08:31 AM

maybe for a smart car engine

**special-K** · 01-30-2015, 09:50 AM

Yes. You need a small block one. Looks like they sent you a smallest block one

You may also be using the storage bag bag. Those only work on non truck trucks.

**67 cst swb** · 01-30-2015, 10:56 AM

one size fits all, right?

Lee H · 01-30-2015, 11:19 AM

57larry · 01-30-2015, 11:32 AM

It worked for my by starting with the balancer and stretching over the entire engine from there! Haha that's pretty funny

CrewCab59 · 01-30-2015, 06:14 PM

Maybe it's one of those dehydrated bags , just add water lol.

**special-K** · 01-31-2015, 12:17 AM

Chill the engine and heat the bag. It'll slip right in

**Boog** · 01-31-2015, 12:05 PM

You have to let ALL the air out of the bag. Then the engine will fit.

**michael bustamante** · 01-31-2015, 12:18 PM

youre supposed to put the engine in and THEN apply heat to shrink the bag.
silly wabbit, trix are for kids

You bought the bag for a Ford. Too small for a Chevy.
