Canadian Performance LS2 arrives.
Got a call on Thursday morning that the motor was leaving the Great White North and heading down here on a truck. The driver estimated a lunchtime delivery. I made sure the shipping company knew that they were delivering to a residence.
The driver calls when he's 20 minutes out and informs me that he's driving a truck with no liftgate - he asks me what I have to move a 500lb crate out of the back of his truck. WTF? I call my buddy with a landscaping company and he agrees to meet the driver back here on Friday morning with a forklift.
Everyone meets at my place at 6am and the unloading process goes without incident. It took longer to unload the Bobcat than it did to actually move the motor. In hindsight, I could have moved the motor with the help of a lifting buddy, but for the money and time spent on the motor, better safe than sorry.
I'm guessing about 3 weeks of work to get the motor on the mounts, plumb the fuel system and turbos. Then some electrical work to get the methanol injection working, AMS1000 wired up and off for tuning.
I can't wait to drive this thing.
