Smile [NW DFW] Call to (strong) arms - help a brother out

As some of you may know I am donating an engine to help Olddragger get his FI RX-8 going again after the last blown engine

https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-major-horsepower-upgrades-93/ods-engine-build-213836/

I need some assistance on Thursday evening 3-31-2011 on the north side of Keller getting the engine into the shipping container and then getting the container up into my truck bed so that I can get it down to the FedEx Freight center. Probably 2 or 3 heaving ***** in addition to myself will do it. If you can help out please PM me to work out the details.

TIA

just so we're clear, the brother you will be helping out is Olddragger, not me.

Looks like I will need to push this off until next week. I will be gone Fri evening - Sun the next three weekends so it needs to happen during the week. All I need is one other person to help me lift it into the ship container.

If you can wait until Wednesday of next week, my brother and I can come help. But I'm out of town until then.

special thanks and props to forum member "REtali8" for coming over this past Monday night and helping to manhandle the engine into the shipping container. I may have misjudged the weight slightly ...

hope he finds that special RX-8 soon
