ok, we're ON for tomorrow ...

i'm going to meet with bill at his place around 1:30pm ish to load up some stuff and then we're going to head over to JW to pick up the engine ...

so, if anyone wants to swing by at JW around 2:15/2:30 to help load/unload, that would be great ...

i'll buy dinner and beers!
Andy

I was just thinking about this.

Andy

I'll try to get there around 2:00. Which probably means I'll get there at 2:30.

The 3.6 is on a pallet strapped down. JWE has a forklift. It shouldn't be too much trouble loading....it's the unloading by "hand" that's going to be a bit tougher.

anyone in napa who wants to "get their hands dirty" "unloading my engine" tomorrow afternoon around 4-5ish ?

Andy

Actually it shouldn't be too bad. It's always easier to lower than to lift. Have a furniture dolly (or two) handy to lower the palette on and you should be good. Or use a solid core door as a ramp like Mueller and I did for the Subaru engine.

And all this advice comes from someone who won't be there to help, so guess what it's worth.

alright, i got a pickup truck (brand new dodge ram), that should do the trick.

most of the day will be spent sitting in the bay area parking lot they call "Freeway" ...


i'll be at JW around 2pm ...

I'd like to help but my back hurts and I'm way down here in Orange County and I'd just get in the way anyway. Is the 3.6 going in the red car?

We'll be putting it at my house, but come to the shop to pick me up. See you.

Here it is after using our massive strength to lift it off the truck without dropping it.

Andy love six.

Six in a closet.

Damn....I'm happy for Andy....

But it kinda tugs at my heart....

At least he loves the 3.6 too!

Bill P.

Hummm....the thing is so heavy it cracked the floor.......cheep concrete, me thinks

Andy - you must be so stoked! Your car is going to be just awesome.

Your car is truly inspirational already - with that thing in it it's going to totally rock!

BTW: Are you going to run a 901 behind that?

dang andy! =-))))))

your car is going to be smokin' fast.

if you need anyone to show you how to handle all of that power feel free to give me a jingle. i know someone.

Wow Andy! You're going to have a sweet ride. The rest of us 6ers are gunna be jealous

Now the fun begins...

First, congrats on the score.

Can't wait to see the car on the a/x and d/e tracks.
Think it can smoke a hot FOUR?

Of course we do

Way to go ( see sig )

yes. 901's are cheap!

Bill offered me the WEVO 915 that he had build to be run with that engine, but the 915 was more $$$ than the engine!

too much for my not so deep pockets.

I can't wait to see her! Thanks for the tease.

But alas, all show and not as much go

Here's Rich from JWE & Smart Racing "helping us" put the motor in the truck:

There we go, almost there...

Eyecandy at JWE.

A couple'a tail-draggers out in the parking lot. (There were quite a few more, but...)

The little tiny oil-cooler setup on Bill's "new" car.

A 1980 993? Hmmm....

Bill's car's tail.

Ready to head to Napa.

And that's all my pics.

--DD

Bill Pickering's new race car is a tail dragger?

Hey Dave,

I didn't see you snapping away there. The oil cooler setup looks bigger than I thought!

Having a forklift sure made it alot easier getting the motor up....

Bill P.

Hi Gwen,

I've gone to the "dark side"......

Should be fun dicing with the 914Club crowd on the NorCal tracks!
