Hauling

[m4]

I need to pick up an electric motor, it weighs 450 pounds. Is this to heavy to haul inside a 91 Sub 4X4? Thank You Shawn.

I drove 26 hours, one way and into the desert with 4 other 200+ pound friends and 500+ pounds of gear in mine. The engine shold be fine.

Thank You, I didn't want to tow a trailer. Anyone need anything delivered between Amarillo, TX and Madison,WI? If I win the bid!

Holy Crap!! What exactly did you buy a 450lb electric motor for?? big onboard air compressor?

I had 2 350 engine's complete in the back of my suburban and drove over 6 hour's. I think that will be fine.

thats childsplay. i had a 82 suburban i used to do a bunch of scraping with and have had over 1000lbs in the back of that thing all the time. just put down like a sheet of plywood or something incase the engine has like feet or small parts that can dent up your floor

Put some plywood down though. The motors are a lot of weight over a small footprint, if the motor shifts any, and any edge hits, the floor will bend quite easily. Don't ask how I know.

Yeah no kiddin. Ask I wish I had a pick of the front of the box on my old s10. There was a elec motor shaped dent in that thing, lol

I hauled a complete 454 about 2 hours in the back of my Tahoe.

Yea the ply wood thats a good idea my floor is full of dents now.

Just make sure you strap it down good, don't want to end up with a 450lb projectile in an accident!
