 Subject: Transporting engine ???
IP: Logged
Message:
Just wondering if there is a good way to transport an engine in the back of my truck without breaking it or having it slam up against the sides of my bed.
I think I saw where someone used an old tire and put the sump of the oil pan in the middle.
Any ideas ???

Just throw it in the back of the truck. Use common sense to keep it from sliding around. I dought it will do much sliding. They are heavy.

I bought my 360 down in Buffalo and had to do around 4 hours of driving home with it in the back. The guy I bought it from did a great job of attaching it to a really solid skid, and framing in the sides with scrap lumber. I brought another skid with me, which we wedged up against the back of the cab, so there was no way it was going to come up against my window . The skid it was bolted to made a really stable platform for it to sit on, it fit the back of the truck really snugly, but we tied it down with straps and wrapped it with a tarp as well.

Us old timers throw and old tire in the bed and set the engine in the center of it. If possible we put a couple on each side to keep it in place.

I've also done the tire thing, and it worked very well. Just remember that you can't do any burnouts or take corners on 2 wheels, and it should be OK.
