Re[2]: Spare motor?




     The cherry picker gets mounted to the roof rack.  I saw a guy 
     with an engine hoist mounted to pivots on his front bumper.  The 
     winch cable went up to the pulley at the end of the hoist and 
     then down to the work.  Had a reach of about 8 feet.  When he got 
     the motor out, he just backs up his truck and voila, done.  This 
     was on a '74 Scout II with a 196.  He had plenty of room for 
     gadgets in there, like a full heat exchanger for engine coolant 
     to heat freshwater from a garden hose.  He said he could take 
     showers as long as the truck was running.
     
        I think you and he ought to get together.  Come to think of 
     it, I've never seen you and him at the same time!  Like Superman, 
     and Clark Kent,  I think you are really the same person!

I was just thinking that, with just a 196 for a spare, you'd have room in 
the back for the cherry picker you'd need to field swap a motor..
