Arrow Im stuck between a rock and a hard place,! need ride to get an engine!

Ok hear the deal, i been spending alot of time thinking about it, its rare for me not to have a car and i really thought about getting anotherone but why spend another thousand when i need it to get my car fixed.. heres the thing, i dont have a car at the moment, there is an engine in tacoma i can pick up from somone, but i have no truck or car to get it. also i need an engine crane and two jacks, the engine has a few bolts i need to remove before i pull it, and all i need to do it pull the old one out and drop the other one in, Im guessing it wont take long. Would anyone like to make a few buck helping a fellow rx7 lover out, I dont want to sell it, I love working on cars and this one is a blast for me, I just need some help and will pay for your time, Please call if you are willing to help me in kirkland, thanks ADAM 253-227-2180

2 guys can lift a rotary engine, a long block is only about 350 lbs. It will fit in a trunk.

There are 2 lifting bale's on the engine for hoisting, one by the alternator and one on the back of the UIM

Just make sure you can have a way to keep it balanced back there while driving and for it to sit up a bit , so it doesn't crush the oil pan. Give me a call whenever your ready to come get it. I am off today Thursday. Just give me a call after 2:30 cause i don't get home from school till then.
