Don't sell you'll end up regreting it. Could do like did with mine take it all apart in car as your probably going to want to rebuild it anyway. then rebuild in car, also there are places where you could rent cherry pickers pull the engine out set it on a milk crate and do it that way as well. both ways have been done and tested to work.

Rotary Run OCT. 23th & 24th in Asheville, NC
Hey guys lt1_rx7 is making a rotary run in Asheville. I know last year was a great run but i could make it 
This year im getting my car ready to go there. We should have a group from jax. We have a lot of time get our cars ready so lets do this!
Here is the info:
This year im getting my car ready to go there. We should have a group from jax. We have a lot of time get our cars ready so lets do this! Here is the info:
it's that time again... WEBSITE IS NOT UPDATED YET...
Cliff Notes:
- When: Oct 23th - Oct 24th, 2010
- What: Driving the Blue Ridge Parkway from Asheville to Cherokee
- Where: Friday night: Asheville, Saturday night: Smokemont campground/Cherokee.
Again, I'll be doing my annual run on the Blue Ridge Parkway, from Asheville, NC to Cherokee, NC (approx 90 miles).
The idea is to start off Saturday morning, catch a bite to eat in Asheville and then start the cruise about 9 - 10 am. Stop along the way for pictures and stretch our legs.
I'm planning to camp out in the Smokemont Campground in the Smokey Mountain National Park on Saturday night. I'm not getting the group site again. You will need to reserve your own camp site for Oct 23th!!! Probably in Loop B. It is $20 a night.. Site allow up to 2 cars and 6 people.
If you want a hotel, that will be up to you to find one in Cherokee.
Breakfast - ~8am Sat morning:
Cracker Barrel in Asheville
34 Tunnel Rd
Asheville, NC 28805-1230
I am going to ask that we do not try to get one large group of all of us. My reasoning for this it in the interest of time, not only in getting tables, but also for getting food. So pick a handful of people you wish to sit with and get a table. Also it will help if people are showing up at different times.
After breakfast, we will do the last gathering in the Ingle's parking lot across from the entrance of Cracker Barrel. There is gas right there so people can top off before we head out.
Road Closure (as of May 2010)
if the road opens over the summer, I will update this route... (this is the same route we did last year for those who remember)
Due to closures on the parkway, we will make a slight detour. We will get on the parkway at "Town Mountain Road" in Asheville. We will get off the parkway at Brevard Road (NC 191) and make our way to Pisgah Highway (NC 151) to get back on the parkway. More details below:
as listed per http://www.nps.gov/blri/planyourvisit/roadclosures.htm

I'd be down for meeting up sometime. I'm down in Wilmington. NA motor blew, in the process of turbo swap. Once I get it running I'd love to just cruise. Also, I've got a few friends here that would probably be down for it too. Let me know if you get something organized. And lol at all the "when I get it running" posts.

You could try autozone. They have a few plus if wanted to buy one they are pretty cheap. Also harbor freight bought one for 45 bucks from them.
