I found a 6 bolt short block about an hour away that has pistons, rods, stock crank and no balance shafts. Lower pan, front case, water pump and timing components are on there also. I’m going to check it out this weekend but..
1. I don’t have a pick up truck so considering removing the pass side seat on my daily, throwing some blankets and a tire down for it to sit in.
2. I don’t really have a way to get it into the car besides me carrying the thing and dropping it in. I’m 6’2 285 I don’t think it’s going to be a big issue but it’s not going to be fun. I considered taking the head as well since it’s available but that’s more weight to consider albeit it not much more (no cams).
Who else has done this in the past? Any pointers or suggestions? Last time I bought a motor for another car it was on a stand and I was able to get it loaded/strapped into a trailer.
EDIT: Found this video online
