Fitting a motor in an 854?
I think I may have found a motor for my 854. The only problem I have is that all I have is my sedan. Is there any way to make a motor fit into my sedan? Thinking put down the seats and what not and take off both manifolds and then lay it down? Would that work? I don't wanna damage anything either.
This would be getting stored in my parking spot at my apartment (underground parking).

I have indoor parking and I have plenty of room that I can put it against the wall in my parking spot and pull in right up to it. I would obviously tape off all entrances and wrap it in a tarp or something. I think if I took off the manifolds it would slide in easy enough, I just don't know about getting it out. If I would need a cherry picker or if me and a couple of friends would be able to lift it out. I can throw something over my trim to protect it.

I don't have a truck, all I have is my 850. I was told that if you take off the manifolds it would slide right in no problem (it's been done by a couple people on VS), would just take a couple buddies to help get it out. There's just someone local that has an 850 turbo motor for sale with only 105k miles and he's only asking 450 for it. When salvage yards want about a grand for a motor with 130k miles.

Rent a truck from Home Depot or something. I would't want to try and fit a motor in the trunk. Nevermind the fluids that will leak out of it, no matter how much it has been drained. I just helped a friend pull a motor from a 760 which I believe is slightly smaller than the 850 motor and it was difficult to manuver and I can't imagine trying to get it in, or worse yet, out of a sedan.
If you still insist I'd get some real heavy plastic and a couple of pieces of plywood, one to lay down in thr trunk for the motor to sit on and one to protect the trim while to giude it in.
Take pictures, should be fun.
