Easiest is to take out the diagonally opposite end intake manifold bolts and replace with longer thru chain links. Use long enough chain to clear carb if you care about it.
Interesting yard art by the way.

Thanks. I made a plate to bolt where the carb was but now I think I'll go with your advice.

Glob truck.

I git the motor out of my Glob truck and started putting the stuff back on it for awhile. Now o see if the motor is rebuild-able. Any advice on taking the motor apart ?

Well if you ever meet Jack tell him . . . Yes, but the idea is the same vs lifting by the intake manifold.

Just curious about the "glob truck" thing there. Looks pretty good without all that stuff on it, especially the chain.

The glob truck (which is the subject of Weathervaneman's post) is a Y-Block. Flathead is another project.

I didn't realize all that trash was actually attached to the truck!?!? I just thought it was trash piled around/on it or some sort of found object, lawn art, sculpture thingy. I'd guess "glob truck" is some FL fad where you try to show a rolling example of a FL hurricane/tornado aftermath? Way beyond "rat rod".

All that stuff isn't trash, It's sculpture media. One of my friends does yard art/sculptures with such things. Some of them are pretty cool. Not sure I would want my truck festooned with them though.
