Should be.....I hope!
Tomorrows job is to whip out the old engine and make a start on prepping ready for the dumb iron swap. Got to take off the steering guard and wings basically
Need to make a mock up of the boxes to sit on the back of the engine so I know where to drop it in but other than that my to do list is pretty small!

Health and safety went out the window tonight so no comments as I already know.....
Definitely moving the series onto the flat part of the back yard before fitting the new engine too...... so much effort on a gravel covered hill!

Even on the scaff boards it wouldn't roll, it ground itself out getting under the vehicle
Doesn't matter though its out now and palletised ready for Rob to put into his series, mine will be getting the caddy engine in after new years with a twin rad set up in the back and helper pump

Didn't look like you had wood under the front rollers/wheels, just the back had wood

Couldn't get wood under the front wheels! They were buried deep hence needing the hi lift to force it back
The bit of plywood I had wouldn't have been tough enough anyway
