Re: Gotta move my engine (and everything else!)

Re: Gotta move my engine (and everything else!)

No sure how far you have to move it....
WHen I moved mine....about 10 miles to a storage building....
I hoisted it into the bed of a truck and sat it on a tire from a SCCA BMW race car. It held it nicely with a few straps for the ride.
Once at the storage building I reattached the hoist and reversed the operation.

This worked nicely moving a 327 about 15 miles. Just make sure it's strapped down. I used an old truck tire. The oil pan nestled down nicely, and very stable.
