Now ... what do you mean by that?

I would think that never putting 'extra' engine blocks in your car would be 
better for gas mileage than dropping them off as you go.

On the other hand, perhaps you meant dropping off the one engine block 
that's in the car and Flintstoning it from there?

Which reminds me of a comment made by a mechanic while doing a safety 
inspection on some car that I purchased many many moons ago: "We don't check 
anything having to do with the engine.  A car that doesn't run is as safe as 
it gets."  ( I was going to reply that it depends when it decides to stop 
running, but thought better of it. )

Yeah, I know ... more coffee ...

So does dropping off engine blocks at people's houses
halfway through the tour.
