Default Humbug = Humidity and Bugs

Florida, I have not seen this much rain in 10 years. Still on the road and have not got home. Might have to buy an air boat to get there.
I did buy and of course everyone needs one, a low mileage small block Chevy engine! I could not pass up the deal. Now I can drag it back to Phoenix.
I wonder if it will fit my Saturn? Probably not! I know I can get it to fit one of my Hornets and with a 700r automatic that would be cool! Or, I know where there is a Chevy Van for sale. I don't know what it is or the condition but it has been sitting there for two years. Oh well, a road trip brings up the option of buying souvineers. A Chevy small block beats a rubber alligator anyday!

While transporting this engine back to phoenix, I have to remember it is right over the rear axle in the van and polar movement when going around ramps to freeways gets a bit sporty with the tail wagging the dog, or trying to anyway

Nope, all wheel drive is just that many more expensive parts to fix when it wears out. Shudda put the engine furher forward, polar motion causes a bit of sway. Pretty much dealable. But that is as far as the engine hoist would reach.
