Moving Maybe

I would help, but I hardly weigh enough to trigger the automatic doors at walmart 

Your welcome to use my engine hoist but its quite a drive to pick it up.  I think Ft Worth is closer than I am to ya...  LOL!!
2 big guys are all you will need to move that motor.  Me and one other guy loaded and unloaded that 4.3 vortec motor BY HAND.  A little determination and a strong buddy can make it happen.

I think I'll use two strong buddies. I'm not what you would consider a big guy. I'm sure I'll get it moved one way or the other. I'm more interested in sleep right now. I was at the ER from 10pm last night to 7am this morning. Apparently my fiance's "heartburn" managed to turn into a bad gall bladder. Now we get to have it removed, it's ok I hate her gall bladder anyway. It never did a thing for me. My meeting with my boss should be interesting since I'm having a hard time remembering what day it is at this point. Such is life.

Well I found an engine hoist to rent so I'll be out dinking around on the Willys tomorrow if anyone gets bored and wants to join me. Nothing major, no goal even, just playing around mainly. Little odds and ends.

I actually got half way to your place yesterday :) Wife felt good enough to ride the jeep, so, we took off, got to madill and went west to Ryan, ok, then south back into texas and back to denton. around 400 miles, very nice ride :)

Depending on when I sleep, we might stop by for a few. If you can deal with us that is :)

The question is can you deal with me? I will be enjoying some adult beverages while I'm playing around. After the night I had last night plus this week in general....I'm looking forward to turning some wrenches and killing some cold ones. As long as I don't drop the engine on my foot I'm ok.

My parents rock. They just called and told me to go buy myself a hoist as a house warming gift. That'll certainly  make my life easier. Won't be as entertaining though.

where on earth are you going to put that until the move?

That's none of your business sir!! I'll put it together and move the motor then I'll pull it back apart and put it in apartment somewhere. Maybe in the trunk of the Malibu.

Your definately a jeeper if you have a motor hoist in the truck of your car!
 
lol

Rock on. I kinda figured I was anyway since I've taken up more than my allotted parking space with my Jeeps. I know all my neighbors cause I'm always out there working on them.

Did you ever decide on a time for this? I am assuming afternoon/evening...but...some do drink in the mornings...lol Not positive i'll make it by, but, going to try..

I just got up. So whenever you want. I'll be out there.

Well we got the motor all moved over after some screw ups with the engine hoist. (They weren't my fault) I appreciate the all the help from you and your boys. Next item of business is to actually swap the motor. That'll be a while though. I did find out that the motor I bought is originally from a 1930's Willys Autocar. Just though that was interesting.
