The problem I had was with a Spridget I just bought with the shortblock in the passenger seat, trans in the trunk. I don't know about the alignment,the bolts pulled through the mounting points so there was definatly something wrong with the way it tracked. I stand by my statement BUY A TRAILER to tow busted cars! You can make the money back by renting it to your friends ; )

Love that Morris (and helmet), BTW.
GRM style circa 1968 - Bought 4 of the Morrises for a total of $200. Built up the car and towed it to Auto-X's all over Central MD, No VA, and South Central PA with a SAAB 96.

If you tow a car with the engine gone, it will tear itself loose, dart across oncoming traffic, bound through a white rail fence and emotionally traumatise some very expensive horses.
You will then spend the rest of the weekend building fence in 105deg weather and apologizing. Get a trailer!
Er, what? I've tow-barred many cars with absent engines and it's never been a problem. Sounds like you overloaded your setup.
EDIT: Upon further reading, I'm not even sure I fully understand the above comment.
Sounds like he is speaking from experience.
