Engine!

We got a call today to say the engine had been delivered to the FedEx depot in Round Rock. This caused us to scramble; Alan rented a trailer from U-Haul and we took a ride up there.
Here's a panorama of the forklift driver after loading the crate onto the trailer.

We enlisted a couple of friends to help unload the trailer, since the crate weighed 570 pounds or thereabouts. There were other boxes of parts, including all the transmission etc, surrounding the engine.
L-R: Alan, with Charlie and Doug. Thanks guys!

And this is what was under the wrapping! It is a Keith Craft engine; a modified Ford 351 Windsor, bored and stroked to 408 and it will produce 525 horsepower. Wahoo!
