Well we did it - Susan and I drove the 226 miles to Wheatfield, Indiana on Saturday with the F-250 and loaded up a rebuilt motor from a 1952 L-110 Series. It was a beautiful day and the drive went flawlessly. Believe it or not, they had snow south of us though :-)  The photo to the left is of the engine in the back of "Woody" when we stopped in Kouts, Indiana for gas.  If you click on the image, a larger image should open up so you can see a little more detail.  Although I was worried, the engine didn't budge the entire drive home.

I borrowed my father-in-law's engine hoist and removed the engine from the truck bed yesterday, but ran into a little trouble with the engine stand - no matter which way I turn the arms, there's no way to get things to line up to mount the motor to the stand. So now we have an engine hanging on a hoist in the driveway... Luckily, the weather is unseasonably nice.

I found some arms at Jegs that should work, and hopefully they'll arrive tomorrow...  Then we still need to remove the engine that's still in Cornelia, but hey, at least we're making progress!
