I was saying that I did have tie downs for once the motor was in. My
concern is getting it in there :)
Thanks for the tire idea, I really like that. I am trying to figure out if
I can do it with a ramp and maybe a movers dolly. Another idea is to see if
I can roll the engine stand up to the back of the truck and lift it up the
few inches left (maybe jacking the front up) then push the engine into the
back. After that remove the stand and scoot the motor into place.

Patton,
You will not be able to lift it on your own unless you are VERY strong.
Better plan on having help.
Also plan on some type of plastic painters sheet to put under it so it
doesn't leak anything on your carpet.
We usually take an old tire (without rim) to put motors on.
And lastly, how would any of us know if you have tiedowns in your suv. Have
you thought about looking? All said with a smile.
Cheers!
