That's freaking amazing! I don't know how you got that in there but I'm impressed. That's like an IDI ship-in-a-bottle... you have me beat hands down, and I thought ~I was resourceful when I crammed a ZF with BW1356 T-case in the trunk of my compact car, or when I tied a hood on the roof! This takes resourceful to a whole new level....

hahahaha you go find your self a mercury marquis and tell me a 6.9 or a 7.3 wouldnt fit in that thing dude i swear to all that is huge you could fit like 30 dead bodies in that thing and still close the lid. i dam well knew it would fit just some how straight up split my mind that the thing weighed close to 1500 or less and would make it a straight low rider car lmfao omfg guy i picked it up from was like "holy s h i t" when i showed him the trunk

HAHA. That there is something you would find in a Jeff Foxworthy saying.
"You might be a redneck(Or resourceful) if you managed to stuff a giant V8 engine for your truck in your mama's Mercury trunk and she never knew"
I was going to stuff the T19 tranny and clutch in my mama's 03 Expedition. She about hit the roof. Needless to say, I ended up putting it in the back of my dad's 08 f250 Stroker. Good thing too. That tranny was covered in a thick coat of disgusting grease and gear oil. I like that. Good thinkin man. Hey, maybe it sagged just enough to make the bumper drag on the the ground and make sparks.

I'm gonna go with redneck... it probably would have been cheaper to ship it than repair the car when you got home.

ya know the seal on the trunk was messed up a little and bent slightly but other than that we pulled the lid off when we took it out and yes it still latches and closes as it did before no problem and as far as the floaty it was a little its a BOAT it doesnt turn on a dime in the first place but yes you could tell it got a little floaty and as far as the bearings its a rear wheel drive so if anything the rear end could have gotten it but ya know we just stuck it in there sideways and as far as dragging bottom it was on the bump stops the entire way home you felt every crack in the road. one of the better times and yet amazingly the trunk didnt get dirty at all
