Auto Parts: a question about auto parts.., nissan stanza, sand bags

Question
I am wondering about the weight and size of the motor of Nissan stanza 1990 model. Will it be safe if i am carrying such a motor in the trunk of a Ford torrus 1991 model. Your suggestion will be appreciated. Thanks.

Answer
Hi Jabs,

It's not safe to carry ANYTHING in the trunk of a Taurus! Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

I wouldn't recommend it stay there for an extended amount of time as it will cause your suspension on an already tired car to wear even faster. If you are using it for winter traction, use sand-bags or something that the weight can be varied and evenly distributed. If you are just hauling it from your friends house to a garage to have it rebuilt then by all means drop it in. Your Ford should be able to handle the weight of almost any engine for a small amount of time without incident.

Thanks for the question, I hope this information is helpful to you.
