Weight of 8v tallblock?



You guys are going to be so close.  A couple more hours in the air and you'd
be at the Johns Island airport not too far from here.  To bad I won't be in
town and persuade you guys to hang out for lunch or diner.

Would have been cool to hang with some fellow Scirocco nuts for a couple
hours or so...  

Good luck with getting that thing into and out of the plane.  They are
heavy. I have that exact motor sitting on floor of the garage.  It is a
beast.

Very true.  To fill everyone else in, Brad & I are picking
up an 8v tallblock (of the Audi persuation actually) from
Raleigh North Carolina on Saturday - in the Grumman.  Which
means we gotta get this thing over the easily dented
aluminum wing and into the back seat area.  (Cool that the
seats fold down flatter than a Scirocco!) It looks like
right now we'll be able to use an engine hoist down there
to assist in loading it, and I have a hoist here to unload
it.  *crossing fingers.*
