I have no means of trailering it to where it needs to go (about 9 hour drive). The truck runs and drives, is it possible to put a "band-aid" on for a long haul? and what would I use/do?

I guess engine is R.S but 900 kl is too far I guess you'd be better off hireing a truck or trailor and bringing it home that way... Being 51 would that be an old Y block ??? __________________ Don't be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the Ark...Professionals built the Titanic! .
