How to Move Engine Block Minus Head (1 Viewer)

[FJ60Seth]

I pulled the head off. It's been machined and stored. Now I want to move the block. What have you used for attachment points? I'd use m13 x 1.75 bolts but they don't exist in my search.

I just used my head bolts, I did have extras though just in case they bent or anything. I don't think they did but I ended up doing an LS swap so I never really found out. I threaded them in all the way to lower the chance of bending or stripping threads

Rear corner headbolt w/ a pipe sleeve cut to fit. Front corner waterpump bolt hole w/ same bolt. I can add pics if it would help.

I used 2 head bolts. Worked just fine. Thanks for your help.

Usually get one hand on the front of the crank and the other hand back b the flywheel. Remember to lift with your legs.

This whole time I thought I had some health issues I need to get looked at.

I actually picked up a 1500 cc Saab V4 engine complete. It’s actually a Ford V4 that believe came from the Taunus. Anyways it’s a cast iron block and cast iron heads and it weighs a ton. It was just able to pick it up and move it out of my van at the time. But now I have a kubota to pick that’s stuff up.
