WTB...460 FORD MOTOR CHEAP

« **Reply #50 on:** June 27, 2009, 09:35:20 AM »

I talked to Chromey yesterday, said Beav was gonna bring it down to Omars. I told him if Beav was comming down I-5 to Ontario He could shoot over the 58 to Barstow we could meet him there and he could dip down thru Victorville right into Ontario. He said he hadnt heard anything.

I am not going to make the races for several reasons...One of them being we had 20 layoff's at work on Thursday morning (all office personel), just trying to keep the peace with the mechanics and my workload just went up by a whole bunch

My dad was not going to go to Vegas this W/E and Beave called and said he was in Gilroy this week, he offered to get this thing as South as he could, even got a hold of Omar and CHROMEY to make it happen, can't tell you how much I appreciate it David.

Here are some pics of the motor in the back of his truck (the valve covers are not diamond plat, it's a reflection, but did get me to thinking)

Feeling like total crap today and I have a hundred things to do, so TTFN.

Harbor freight has a really heavy one that has a cherry picker base on it I think I paid like 70 bucks for one...I would loan it out but it is holding my big block beater on it...otherwise I would pimp it out...I'm sure if we run to parhump we could pick one up from my dad...he's probably got one or 2 laying around! Yeah I was thinking about your cherry picker brad and wondering if it had enough height to clear chromeys boat...if all else fails mine is right up the street from your casa...spicy bloody marrys...del taco...and turning wrenches sounds like a good deal to me

take the tires off the trailer if its not tall enough....

Been there done that

« **Reply #66 on:** June 29, 2009, 04:28:45 PM »

mine extends pretty far out...dont know if it will clear his transom as it is nearly chest high.

taking the tires off doesnt work too well depending on the trailer because the engine hoist legs have to go under the boat and the frame of the trailer can only go so far down until its resting on the hoist....then how are you going to pull it out?

might need to find someone with a sturdy set of rafters in their garage and use a pully style hoist to yank it out.....even heard of people using an old swing set frame.

« **Reply #67 on:** June 29, 2009, 04:56:26 PM »

we will figure it out....she will be floating in no time....

« **Reply #68 on:** June 29, 2009, 05:44:56 PM »

My hoist will rpobably get her done pulled a motor from my 75 rayson craft and a motor from a 72 beismyer both 21 daycruisers...probably get her done...in my rayson craft we had to adjust the tounge a time or two but it came out so anyway...I'm sure the vegas crew can get er done!

TEAM COLD BEER has delivered the package....its here baby

...cant wait to tear into her and clean it up!!! thanks for everybodys help so far!!!
