Finally found a good use for stock tires!!

Like it says, finally found out what the stock SS/SC P-zero's are good for.....



an engine stand!!

Had to change a motor in a Ford E-250 this weekend. I found the tire most useful when i needed something to rest the old mill on while i pulled the new one out of the crate. here are some more pics if you are interested in what it takes to get the motor out of a full size van!

the whole front end has to come off!





My tool box cluttered up with ford and cobalt parts!!



And finally, the new unit all bolted in!

the heads aren't that crazy. just a OHC V8. unless you mean the huge front aluminum timing cover.

Did you end up pulling the cab off the frame? I found that the easiest way to do the power strokes...or i should say power CHOKES. especially the 7.3's.
