Not Ranked

Now it is time to start swinging the motor! I love fork lifts! They make life SO MUCH EASIER. Ours has the very cool side shift option so we can move the motor side to side to get every thing perfectly lined up. Believe it or not, we can install a motor in about 10 minutes.

Notice we have our engine spreader bar set up so the engine and transmission tilt slightly down.
