This may sound like a dumb Questing but here we go.
I'm working on pulling my motor out of the car right now. Since the shop that will be building my motor is less then 2 hours from me, I was going to just drive the motor up and drop it off. I'm I know i will pull the oil pan and all oil parts off the Motor, the head will be all belts and all that but i need to know what everyone thoughts on the best and safest way to transport the motor.
Thank for your time

 

If I'm transporting an assembled motor, I usually put it on an engine stand, and secure it in the back of my truck. If you're taking it down to a short block, just set it on its side and make sure it's secure and not going to move around.

 

I guess i'm more worried about getting the motor home once its built, more info welcome

 

Well, then the first sentence of my post is exactly what you should do.

 

strapping it securely onto a pallet also works good. obviously protect the surface and make sure its flat. I found this way works well since you can get a couple of friends to help lift it and safely put it onto a trailer or truck. the block is so light once removed from the head.

 

If you have a truck and don't have a pallet, you can just place it in an old tire and it will hold it pretty securely.

 

You can set it on its side if you need to before its built?
