Pat, I wish you told me...I coulda helped you out yesterday, but today's a no go.

You trying to pull an engine from your truck ie engine bay, or just move a 13B you hauled in your truck? Cuz if it's the latter, I'm sure we can do it together, either by carrying or by using a dolley (which is what I did last night).

Yeah it's a 13B long block chillin in the bed of my truck. I doubt we can lift that sucker out of the truck. I know your strong and all, but I think we'll need a hoist

Pat, w/ a plank and a dolley, it's 100% doable. I just rolled out a 13B long block last night that way. Lifting it out is very doable too, IMO. If you wanna give it a go, I'll have a friend w/ me tomarrow, and I'll be coming back from MIR at around 11 or 12 (noon). I can swing by, and all 3 of us should be able to at LEAST pick it up from the truck and rest it on the floor to be moved the rest of the way w/ the dolley, assuming the distance is too long to carry the whole way.

You have my cell, hit me up if you're game.

Yeah I'm game! PM me your cell number again. I lost my old phone and all the numbers

I don't have a dolly here at the house. I'll go buy one tomorrow.
