I just want to know if 2-3 normal built people can pick up a B16 longblock and tranny? The reason I ask this is, I want to get the swap from password jdm, my local shop wants more . So when they drop it off I want to know if me an 2 other people can put it in my truck and haul it there. I can probably take off the tranny if its too heavy.

bump.

I think your going to need minium of 3 people to lift the complete swap. I think the B16 weights around 400 lbs, Me and my 2 brothers lifted a complete gsr swap a couple of months ago and boy was it heavy! Since I assume your planning on putting it on the truck, IMHO i would try to get at least 4 guys since its a good height where you have to lift it onto the truck.

thanks, I kinda figured I would probably need more people. Just wondering if it was possible.

If you 3 aren't women you can lift it no problem. Seriously though, if 3 people can't get a swap up, you need to hit the gym. My roomate can carry a longblock by himself (I've made him do it before) and I can carry a tranny myself easily.

EDIT: The worst part is that it's unbalanced and you have to carry it up agianst yourself.

Bleh, he's a 240lb monster. Last time we maxed out at the gym he benched 365lbs!

P.S. I'm the prettiest.

Mr Boston

Are you planning on lifting the swap onto the truck bed?

or call your shop.. and have them do it for you

Phantastic

you would need three or more people to carry that. the more people the better

itslogics

I don't think they would pick it up. I don't mind taking it to them.
