Ok. I'm getting an engine from this guy and only have my civic to get it home with.

How would I go about this without doing crazy damage?

I was thinking of putting it in my passenger seat and strapping it down and back to the seat............

I have no other ideas... anyone else?

Just rent a u-haul type thing for a few hours, it wont cost you much... really.

take out the passenger seats and put a piece of plywood in there

budy with a pickup. i wouldnt put it inside your civic unless if you want your seats and carpet covered in coolant and oil....

Take out the passenger seat. Should fit right in there.

slacks

do you tie it down?!?!

Seatbelt dude!

slacks

word

Haha just messing.

I didn't use anything to tie it down. The motor should be heavy enough to sit pretty snug.

Since you're driving quite a distance, you could probably use some string or rope what have you, and get creative.

i was going to sit it on the seat (on a tarp or something) and use the seatbelt and a tie-down to keep it to the seat... if that seems logical

^^ That would work.

Is it a shortblock or longblock?

slacks

b18b longblock

no tranny.. and the IM is disconnected and exhaust manifold is non-existant

That should fit. There's probably no need to take your seat out then.

slacks

awesome! thanks guys

i'll let you know how i did it when the time comes

Frickr

you any good with a welder?? i'd weld up a a hitch and hook on the trailer. hell then when summer hits, you can pull the boat to the lake, and if you really need to, pull a car trailer with a new car home. its a honda it will do it

egsleepercivic

be safe rent a u haul, if you get hit or even have to slam your brakes, you are going to get hurt

It will fit on your passenger side if you remove the seat and it should fit in your trunk minus spare tire.
