Best place to do a motor swap?

In the street? Sure why not!



This one even was captured on google maps! Anyone else have pics of engine swaps being done in not-the-best spot?

Epic spot to do it for sure. I hope they have nice weather there all year round.

Re: Best place to do a motor swap?

When I was rebuilding the engine in my old CRX I was renting a bedroom in the basement of someones house. I tore the engine out in the garage, but the rebuilding of the engine took place in my room. It took me and my girlfriend, a sled and some rope to bring the assembled 1.5 liter back upstairs and into the garage. It was pretty fun actually.

Re: Best place to do a motor swap?

Always done them in a garage, but I did assemble my shortblock in the basement two winters ago. I was all by my lonesome and wanted the thing upstairs so I carried it by myself. It was highly difficult. My legs were maxed out, haha.
