Solid Offroad - Solid Motor Mount Holiday Deal

Or if you can, just fabricate a jacking point that cradles around the oil pan and directly supports the block. Might be much cheaper if you don't have a hoist sitting around.

 

A block of wood is the easiest and safest way. get a piece big enough to span the pan, and keep it just clear of the drain bolt. I had no indentions or marks when I was done lifting my motor twice using the above method.

 

Just do one at a time, unbolt the driver side mount, hold the brakes, and give it a little rev in gear. Use reverse to do the pass side. Engine will lift itself.

 

Zero blocks given

 

i could probably bench press the engine and trans, and torque the bolts with my free hand.

 

Why brag about something anybody could do?

 

Solid Offroad Mounts Equipped

 

We drop the race boat engine on the work table sitting on the oil pan all the time - sometimes with the blower still attached.

 

Paid

 

Am I too late to jump on this???

 

I'm in. How do I pay?

 

^^ You’re both good! This GB is open until tomorrow. I’ll Pm you the details

 

Me too!!

 

Got you! PM sent

 

@nlaroy & @e30cabrio you're both added to the list and PMs sent with payment instructions

 

PS: a majority of y’all have already paid and sent all the required information. There’s one I’m working with, I got you. If anyone else has questions or hasn’t received a PM or just anything seems amiss please reach out to me!

The group buy is open until tomorrow night so get in while the getting is good!

 

So you hosting this install day??? lol Is there Air Conditioning?? lol Can I bring a bumper too lmao

 

At my old place it would have worked, but not anymore. Ground is sketchy lifting just one wheel in the air already.

But my thought is to install mine with the help of a friend whose done it - then hopefully the both of us can be there to help with the group. Wherever and whenever the mod day is.

 

Someone buy me a set and maybe I'll host an install party

 

Thinking outside the box!

 

I'll buy you a set, and then put it on my truck till yiu have cash.

 

Paid!

 

Ready to purchase, awaiting your PM @eccracer104

 

@eccracer104 Thank you for administrating this!

 

PM inbound!

Absolutely!

 

Count me in for a set. ‘13 5.7 in titanium.

 

*Final few hours of this group buy*

If you’re interested in ordering a set please reply here or shoot me a PM. The clock is ticking and smoke signals and carrier pigeons won’t make it in time.

Also - there’s a couple people who have messaged to get in but I have no idea if they’ve paid. If you haven’t paid yet, today is the last day to do so or your order will be rejected even though you were on the list.

 

So… moving ahead to the “install party”, Mike and I… maybe you too… have been sifting through places we know, hopping to identify a location we could all hang out for several hours to do our installs simultaneously, while he and Lance act as mentors.

We need a place big enough for … HOW MANY trucks?!!… with the following:

Absolute Necessities:
Off-street
Flat
Bathroom access on-site or close, walkable

Really Great Extras:
Shade
‘Fridge
Allowed to bbq
Pleasant afternoon breeze

Do any of you participating in this GB hold a business-owner/ boss position that allows you to grant permission for a parking lot party at your work place on a weekend? Or do you have a cool buddy/ family member with this kind of space that might offer? Just putting it out here to get us all thinking. It’s a pretty rare (cool!) thing to be able to wrangle this kind of learning/doing event, and it can happen if we find a place it can happen.

All possibilities welcome!

 

And this GB is closed. Thank you to everyone who joined in! Big thanks to @Bonzen for allowing it!
