Default Need a place to swap a motor

Hey guys,

So, I've decided to drop in a replacement motor rather than have mine rebuilt. The problem is that I can't really make it into my driveway, my tool set is not 100% complete, I can't work in the garage, and it's REALLY ashy here. - Basically can't do it at my house.

If anyone would like to volunteer their pad for a few days, it'd be greatly appreciated. Just pulling the motor and dropping in the new one. Red Stripes on me for anyone who can help!

Picking up the motor within the week and have help / could potentially bring all tools.

Please let me know if you can help out.

Thanks,

Alex

if i have the shop open by then.. my brother will do the swap for u..idk if you wanted to do it urself.. might be worth it to pay someone to do the work. hes done over 25 swaps now.mostly 240s tho since thats what he drives.. prob 5 or 6 swaps are just on his cars. hes had about 11 240sx's now haha. plus we have all the tools and the hoist.

I think SFV_S2K is going to help out and with my friend and I, I think we should be able to crank it out. Purchasing the motor is already going to hurt enough. :/

I'd do it for you but I have bad knees now. I have most tools and I've built and swapped engines in my garage for a long time, but no can do anymore.

This is my parents house so i'd have to be here to watch you. We could meet and chit chat so i trust you if that is ok with you. I cannot do it for free either since I have to let you use my tools and space.

Alex, give me a ring. I might have a solution right away.

You've got PM, just give me a call anytime tomorrow, I wake at 5am so anytime is fine.

I might have time to help you pull it also.
