Picture of the day - I took this btw.

This was taken at the farm today. This engine has been hanging here for about 6 months now. The engine was about a foot higher when originally hung, but the rope has slowly worked its way to where it is now. Who can guess the engine? Thought you guys might get a chuckle out of it, or someone will tell me how stupidly unsafe this looks.

K car engine ?

 

[70DartMike]

Nope, I'll give a hint though. The engine is a 4 cyl from 1981.

 

[godfatherofchry]

looks like a vega cast motor?? I hope the rope holds........Artie

 

[70DartMike]

Still nope.

Hahah, ya. It's an interesting sight in the wind. Good thing the block is cracked and we don't care about it anymore.

Yeah. Me. I worked in a Toyota service department for seven years. In fact, I'm still a Toyota certified technician, because their certifications never expire. Those are some mighty fine engines, too. What's my prize? LOL

 

[cjh]

I was gonna say a 22R from a Hilux ute....or a Corona.

 

[66plyValiant]

What's my prize? LOL

a cracked block 22R of course (you pay shipping) LMAO:bootysha:

 

[Slantsick]

And here I thought it was only the frames of Toyota pickups that cracked... live and learn.

 

[PanGasket]

The head and exhaust gave it away for me

 

[70DartMike]

The frame of the truck it is from is totally rotted out, got pulled over and was issued a vehicle inspection because you could push your hand through the frame. I'm pretty sure the truck box and cab were holding the frame together.

But the engine was rebuilt probably 4 years ago, about a $2500 rebuild, so it was too bad to see the block crack.
