 I'm a little out of touch with the new stroker builds, my thought was original crank was a prize in itself.  :dunno: If that's where the ez power is, I'm game. :grinyes: 

 The tire idea sounds promising for supporting the engine. I thought to hoist the complete motor into the back of my pickup. Then set the trans next to it to get them home. Not sure how strong the oil pans are for resting either on the truck bed? Maybe lay the motor on one side using the exhaust manifold for support. :clueless:

My crank is cast so a prize it is not. Good luck w/ your motor.   Matt
