funny- 7.3L diesel vs. chevy s10
i got a good chuckle at this when i was at work today. we had to ship an OEM reman'd ford 7.3L diesel engine to a shop today in one of our lil' chebby s10's. i was kinda surprised at how huge this thing was. when we got the engine in the bed, you could almost hear the little leaf springs screaming. the truck was squattin real bad. heres a pic i took on my phone. you can kinda tell how much it was squatting.
by the way, the engine, with a core deposit, was a little over $10,000.

It is 1,000 pounds of beef that will kill most engine stands and I guess most S-10s
