Well, I figured since I can get an axle and a pair of tires in the 'bird; why not a motor? I'll be heading down south soon to pick up another LSx. I don't have a truck so I'm thinking if I yank the passenger seat I can fit it. Any bets? Laughing

Although this motor is going into a toyota. Very Happy

Will an LS balance easily on the pan? 'Cause if it tips it's gonna tip onto you. Razz

I carried my roll away bottom box to work by taking my right seat out.

But Araron is right, you need to find a way to secure the motor. Otherwise if could hurt you . I have some jerk cut me off and I had to slam on the brakes when I had my tool box in my car, thankfully I had padding between it and my dash. Just be very careful ok?

I'll have to figure out what I can balance it on. It definitely won't be just the pan.

I was thinking I could bend up a couple pieces of metal and bolt them down where the seat frame bolts to and it'd give me hooking spots for some ratchet straps.

This is getting incredibly redneck, incredibly fast.

Maybe you should just build a redneck elcamino.

Every man should own a truck. No exceptions.

That way when people ask why your project car isn't done yet you can just say "I had to work on that gotdang truck!". Razz

Or you just say my truck's a ford.. and then we all know where your time goes. Razz

Pull the drivers seat and ride the LS1 home!

Won't the car lean to one side quite a bit? How far are you traveling with it?

Ian, I can probably help you out if you buy the diesel fuel. Where is the engine and when do you want to pick it up?

Yeesh. That's over a hundred bucks just in diesel, dude. Find somebody with a 4-banger pickup or something. Laughing
