just ordered b16 but how do i get it off the truck?
I just ordered a b16 from hmotorsonline, and i'm kinda worried about getting it off the truck. I got it shipped to a local car shop, but the shop doesn't have a forklift or anything, the only thing they got is a dolly. My worry is that they aren't goign to have any way of getting it off the truck. What have you guys done?

get a couple guys to carry that **** off the truck..that's what me and my friends did a couple times...we loaded and unloaded a 99 b16, motor and tranny, off my 84 toyota pickup...its not that heavy for a couple of guys, its just hard to hold it correctly...or you could always take it the easy way and go rent some equipment

so you think a couple of guys could get that thing off a semi and into a pickup? I dont' know how heavy it is but it's the complete swap so, i'm just worried we aren't gonna have a prayer.

if the engine is attached to the tranny I'd say four guys will have no problem. We pick up engines all the time with just three guys.

it'll be on a pallet, weigh around 350 pounds.
i wouldn't worry about it.. How is the shipping company going to deliver anything if they can't get it off the truck themselves.

I don't know how heavy it is compared to a B18A, but me and my frend lifted engine and tranny by ourselves off of a lifted pickup truck and down about 20 stairs with few problems. just back your truck up to the other one, or they might have a lift gate that will make it tons easier.

They will most likely have a lift gate on the truck thats delivering it so if anything they could move it to the gate and then lower it to the same height as the pickup's bed and then just scoot it over. The shipping company will most likely have something to move it around which would most likely be a palet jack so they will be able to move it to the edge for you. If worse case they dont have a lift gate on it you could most likely use a engine hoist in the back of the pickup to get it off. But most likely it will and they most likely have a pallet jack as well.

Me and the guy I bought mine from unloaded it from the truck. Just the two of us.
3 guys and it would be a piece of cake.

Re: just ordered b16 but how do i get it off the truck? (Wes d)
I got the entire swap, including hasport shiftlinkage, hasport mounts, and hasport subharness and shipping and payed with visa all for the low price of 1925, and i needed a electronic vss for my gsr gauge cluster and he threw that in for 25 bucks, steve was pretty cool, but i guess he should be since i just threw down 2 grand. I ordered it on monday he said it usually takes 10 business days, that means i'll get it on another monday, i hope it only takes 9 because i want to install it a weekend sooner oh well, i'm glad that it isn't a hard task to get it off the truck, i was really worried about that.

i don`t know who they sent to whereever you guys got yours from but this guy pulls up in front of my house in a 18 wheeler and says " so, how you gonna get this off my truck". i looked up and said "your not gonna help" f***ing union guys suck azz. he finally acts like "well if i get hurt someone will have hell to pay" .i told him just to slide it to the edge of the trailer and i would handle it . sure enuff he did just that and then sat on his fat azz the rest of the time . i rolled my engine hoist out to the road and pulled my lawnmower out there with my craftsman dump trailer hooked up to it . i hooked onto the motor and lifted it off the truck and set it on the trailer. no sooner than i did that he slammed the door and was off before i could start the mower up .i hate the union. buncha lazy f**ks.

see, i'm kinda worried about what happened to biggdog happen to me. I mean what if you wouldn't have had anything except your body to get the engine off the truck? Would he have left? Would he have just taken it back to the warehouse or what?

Me and 2 friends unloaded my B16 off of a pickup. It wasnt bad at all. Just today we unloaded a Dodge 318 out of the same truck. That motor took 4 guys. Heavy *** domestic motors!

my motor was on a pallet in a van, we had two 4x6's and a strap and pulled it off that way. then when we got to the edge of the boards, we carefully lifted the motor and slid it the rest of the way down, then I just pulled it with the straps into my garage.

I dont know about that liftgate thing.I drive for an ltl company and any time we deliver engines to shops or homes we get them to the back of the trailer with a jack and the customer takes it of the truck.Lftgate service is extra(45-85)dollars depending on weight.Just my .02cents.

When my b16 came from hmotorsonline the delivery guy was real cool. He asked me where I wanted it and he did the rest. He used the lift gate and a pallet jack and I was set.
