Fell of the back of trailer when i was moving house last weekend.

In the 30 minutes it took for to realise and turn back around for it, it was gone.......f**ken hillybilly thieving wankers.

[Bennoz]

No tools required, just the hoist if possible

You're welcome to borrow my engine crane for the day if you want, just need it back in the afternoon, gotta pull the engine out of the half cut this weekend

I'm in Carlingford. Let me know.

PS: Just make sure you bring rope to tie it down securely

[Astron_Boy]

Step 1: Install engine

Step 2: Drink from Keg.

In that order!


Enjoy fellas.

Would help, but Lawso knows why I won't be there.

Actually I might see if I can get my engine out tonight, then you can have it for the weekend. Mines all ready to go just need to undo the engine mounts and lift er out.

Ben, quick question, I can just lift the entire engine and gearbox out together? I don't have to remove the gearbox first?
Thanks.

To be honest mate, it's a whole lot easier to lift the car off the motor. Then just slide-walk the whole assembly (engine + box) out from underneath.

hmm, have to have another look, in my case the halfcut is sitting on a trailer, so I could drop the engine gearbox to the floor but then I'd have to lift the halfcut and trailer over it, could be interesting...
No doubt there will be plenty of swearing involved either way

PS: That reminds me, I need to go get some more bourbon

[FTO_GPvR]

I would come and help out tomorrow but im busy and i have a friends 18th tomorrow, sorry. Have fun

[Gholdwayne]

Damn, if only tomorrow was the 2nd of Jan.

[Shane001]

Well my engines out. Ended up taking it out through the top, was going to be too much of a pita to lift the trailer and the halfcut over it on my own. Was pretty straight forward though, once the engine crane is hooked up, unbolt all the mounts and drop the bottom support bar/crossmember. The only thing I didn't do that in hindsight I wish I had was remove the alternator, would have made it a bit easier to manouevre, but yeah pretty straight forward.

Should stop by for a bit to lend a hand tomorrow, interesting to see what goes into an fto transplant.

What goes into it is a lot of sweat but it all the F's and C's that come out that makes it a funny day

Lawso must be overjoyed!!! Waited for months to get it running.
Ben can't wait to get it out of his driveway.
