Chicken? This $h!t$ going down tomorrow! :D I had other things to attend to as well, apparently the Jeep's anti-freeze content wasn't sufficient for last night's cold :'(

just giving you shit....
Don't you hate when that happens with the antifreeze? I remember driving my truck to work in the mid 80s not long after I moved down here from tucson, and the engine overheated one chilly morning. radiator was frozen.
Yeah Jim, last time this happened to me was with the Centurion my first winter here (yeah, So. Cal. mix of coolant :P), started the car to warm it up, go out there five or ten minutes later and see the temp gauge at 230*F :o Knew right away what happened. The jeep doesn't have a temp gauge, even the idiot light doesn't work (or it just quits running before the unrepairable damage light comes on :P). Guess I wasn't good down to -9* :-\
the width of those concrete walls looks about the same as your engine hoist legs.... perhaps there might be a more gentle way to send the motor to the basement?
and doesn't the OHC motor have the same transmission bolt pattern as your Jeep?
Normally I'd ask what your neighbors think...but I've seen Ely, I know better. I never thought I'd see an engine block on a homemade toboggan, let alone that combination pointed toward an entrance into the house. Dude...I don't even have a smartass comment for that.
Editor-at-Large at...well, here, of course!
"Remy-Z, you've outdone yourself again, I thought a Mirada was the icing on the cake of rodding, but this Imperial is the spread of little 99-cent candy letters spelling out "EAT ME" on top of that cake."
BuickGuy, two points. One, I don't want to haul the heavy engine hoist out of the basement, certainly would of been easier to get the engine off the stand and onto the pallet it's on. Two, I don't think the hoist legs would clear the cinder blocks, plus the ground is no where near stable enough to support the weight over the nose of the hoist, plus it would only reach about halfway down the stairs and I'd be right where I am today, but half way down. Jeeps use the BOP pattern ???
.... turbo, OHC, Pontiac motor in a non-descript jeep cherokee.... awesomeness all the way around... I know its adaptable because GM and Jeep used the same transfer case, however, IIRC (rattling around somewhere in the back of my brain) the pattern for the 2.8 jeep is the same as BOP... just a thought
