Sprite engine in a box
So how many boxes does it take to hold a Sprite motor? Turns out, it takes 4 boxes:
- Engine block (about 76 lbs)
- Head and carbs
- Crank, oil pan, assorted bits
- Small box with the flywheel and a few more bits
The engine is now winging its way to South Carolina for the winter rebuild. Each of the boxes was shipable by UPS, a nice extra touch. The completed engine will have to be truck shipped back, but that’s for another day. I’m really excited that the plan is moving forwards — now I’ve got to get busy on the suspension and brakes, to get the Tunebug ready for the next phase. We’ll be driving in the spring!
