i've knacked my back lumping my t series around,

no wonder, its a brute. duno if you have an engine trolly, but if not, go to your local "get crap here dirt cheap" shop/supermarket and buy a skateboard. as the cheap ones are usualy made of thick heavy strong wood (mine is) and has served me well for 3 years of engien shifting. and its good fun for moveing me around the drive too :D
