so you want to roll an engineless car 5-10 miles??? on the road? Doesn't sound like a good idea at all...just get it towed. As for the question asked...i don't think they will work buddy...don't risk it!

Yes, your e-brake always works...

But if I were you I'd pull the car there or have a tow truck take it.

He can start using it before the car gets any speed.... Besides he didn't say anything about any hills did he?

drive car with motor to shop... take motor out and then put in another cars trunk... work on car at shop and motor at home...

simple

*edit* ebrake always works... if above doesn't work because the original motor doesn't run Call a Tow Truck.

if your too cheap for a tow truck tie a long bungie cord to a bike seat...then tie it to your front cross member or tow hook... then ride your bike as fast as possible...

I thought you were joking about pushing it to there.

Find a friend with a tow strap and a truck and try that.

The one time my D series left me stranded, we did this for like 15 miles.
I was very embarrassed, but it's always a good laugh.
