An exciting day on the drive I have now taken delivery of a standard LS3 from Parts World Performance.
The crate was delivered on a pallet and placed in my garage.

The packaging removed an I can admire its beauty.

To transfer the engine to the stand proved challenging, this was due to the width between the legs of my engine crane fouling pallets preventing to get the hoist close enough even at full extension.
I place a strong strop around the lower pallet and slowly manage to drag the engine out of the garage to give more space.
The legs of the engine stand are around the same hight as the lower pallet and I am able to gradually move the crate onto these legs.
I could then get the hoist close enough to lift of the crate.

The engine will stay on this stand until I am ready for the first trial fit - that way I can move if required.

The engine will stay on the stand for the time being until the ancillary kit arrives. This will make it easy to as well as changing the deep sump which it came with to one that will not stick below the chassis line.
