I remember a 944 engine I had in the driveway for years. Finally, a guy came and picked it up.
Literally- HE PICKED IT UP- and put it in his pickup. (Insert scene of "indian" ripping the sink out of the mental institution in "One flew over the cuckoo's nest" and throwing it through the window. Mongo from "Blazing Saddles" also comes to mind.)
In a worst case scenario- What you need is to harness the power of 3-4
whiteys (at most )to put this in the back of a pickup/station wagon and drive it home. 20 miles? Beer money!
