Hello folks, I haven't been here in a while, other stuff in my life taking priority. Anyway, my'78 Volare needs some help getting back on the road. Its been sitting with a worn out slant six, the original slant from 1978. I have a replacement for it, I just have to figure out the logistics as I no longer have a house with a garage. That's all for now, I'll be back. Take care everybody! Wes |

I have the Volare in a storage space, which has plenty of room. The replacement slant six engine is at another location, gotta find someone with a truck to bring it over. The storage space doesn‘t have a concrete floor, just rocks and dirt, so its gonna be a little more difficult to do the engine swap. Oh well… |

Dirt floors can be covered with plywood. Strong enough to roll an engine hoist over. Do you have a car with a trailer hitch? Hardware store that rent tools often rent pickups fairly cheaply. Worst case, if the engine isn't too far from your workspace, you could "find" a shopping cart and haul it that way. |

Plywood on the ground is what I was considering, so thanks for confirming that Reed. And actually, a friend with a pickup took me to Home Depot this morning for plywood. Now I just have to get the replacement slant and a hoist to my storage space. Its a few miles away tho. Onward! |

Ok, the replacement slant six and engine hoist are now at the storage space. Thanks to a friend of mine and her truck. Onward, little by little… |
