It only took 4 of us to move a fully dressed LT1 350 Chevy out of the back of a 4x4 dually Chevy. Don't be such light weights.
I did call 10 people over, but you only have room for about 4. |

Patrick,
My mechanic can remove it from your truck with a hydraulic lift. His shop is located in Portola Valley. Felix |

Royce, I see Jason and Darren's work frequently and seriously considered a Boxster engine but the conversion is such a major project. I want to focus and spend my time and limited $ on the body redesign and finish within this year. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) I'm not ready for a thread but John will post his progress pics soon. I plan to get the drivetrain ready before it returns to my place in two months...then off to Tony's to fabricate an engine cross member. At least I've updated my signature! |

Patrick,
Turns out they charge more for cities beyond SJ so I wouldn't save anything. Thanks for the offer! Felix |

I usually have teh freight company hold it at the terminal.
I then show up with my stretched Vanagon and they forklift it into that. No extra charges, I just have to drive to san jose to get whatever it is I'm getting shipped. Maybe you could do that? Yes, you would still need a truck or van. |
