Naw, that's just an old tire...the old set-an-engine-in-a-tire trick, to prop the engine upright.

h0udini72 · 04-08-2004, 05:05 PM

LOL...yeah its just sittin in a tire! works like a charm!

bpmcgee · 04-08-2004, 05:14 PM

Oh, Okay. I see it now. I was thinking you'd found a REALLY challenging way to put an engine in!

HOw was the engine bad?

h0udini72 · 04-11-2004, 10:57 PM

the guy who i bought it from, obviously didnt really clean out the old block at all....or he did and only cleaned it on its side...cuz one whole side is like blocked and oil cant get to the valves.

i changed out the lifters and everything thinkin that would be it, but NO!
