hello,
i have an engine at driffield show, and my dads going in his disco, will it fit in the back safely?
cheers kieran

Kieran, I suspect it would fit in fine....if you can get it in there. An engine crane will foul the roof before the engine is high enough to clear the rear bumper.

Hire a smallish trailer for the day would be a better idea I think.

Be fine.

better in the front  :P :P :P

[wrecker]

they fit no worries,ive had a engine and box in mine,

a lil tip

you can use a crain to get the engine in the back but use the shortest rope poss,the closer the hook can be to the top of the engine the better for you getting it in and out then the arm and engine will just go,ive done twice now and it works :lol:

cheers,  :lol: theres ( hopefully ) already a working engine in the front, hes gone to the location of the engine to see if they have the right equipment to put it in, if they do ill have a new engine from a ex land rover factory vehicle  :D, just gotta pick my axle up from hairy ass welder and rebuild my front axle, oh yeah and fit the engine and ill be on the road again  :dance:

cheers kieran

[kizz81]

all sorted now, its currently on transit between driffield an york in the back of the disco :D

next stage to fit it

cheers for all the advice

I thought you were going to make a twin engined monster. 1 for the front wheels one for the back.

Oh how dull is the truth. :-)

 :lol: :lol: :lol: that would be cool

Oh how dull is the truth. :-)

i think i thought that when my engine and axle went at the same time
