<VV> Moving a late model without powertrain

[jvhroberts at aol.com]

 Yep, did this once. Packed the diff bearings with grease, packed the side gears with grease, got rid of the pinion, empty PG case, etc., simple. Of course, those were the days when I had PILES of drivetrain parts...

By the time you figure out the correct length of a piece of pipe plus

flanges, fabricate it and drill the 8 mounting holes, you can easily

build up a dummy powertrain.  An empty engine block with rear mount, a

stock differential with case and side gears in place to slide the yokes

into and an empty transmission case with the front mount and you have

it.  It replicates the stock powertrain without the weight.  The

differential could have a blown ring and pinion as long as it turns or

no ring and pinion for that matter.  Just the case on bearings would do.

You could then store it by leaning it up against a wall in the garage

for the next time you need it.

That being said, it would be easier to store a piece of pipe!
