How much does a D series shortblock weigh?Estimate if ur not sure.i need to lift one so i wnt to know if i can do it by myself or if im going to need help.

 

with or without tranny?

 

no tranny just the block,with pistons,crank,head,no intake or header.thats a shortblock right?not sure whats a shortblock exactly but i have an idea.

 

either way u r gonna most likely need one more set of hands, me and a buddy lifted my shortblock and it was nuthing

 

i dont know the exact weight but i actually had too move my old block the other day and it had the tranny on it. so without the tranny it cant weigh more than 100-150 lbs...

 

Do you think i could lift that?im 17,fully built ;-)

 

drain the oil and try if cant then take the head of and no problem.

 

not going to take the head off....i need to bring it up to the 3rd floor lol...from the junkyard to my apt.haha haterrrrsss!

 

let me fill you in.Im buying some D15 engine and im taking it apart,do a couple things,put it back together.Not going into a car though.Just a little project practice so i can then do the real thing when i get the real car.Looking to spend a few hundred on it.My friend has a hookup at a junkyard.Ill then spend less than 100 bucks maybe,max 200.

 

Well I took my short block LS motor off the crane by myself. Lets just say I probably shouldn't have done that

 

It's not the weight that's going to be an issue, but the awkwardness.

 

yup You could easily lift it say out of a truck, but NOT up 3 stories haha!!

Complete engine is a Longblock; Shortblock is just the Bottom end...

If the head is staying on, then it's a long block. Head off, deck to oil pan is short block.

I have a D series short block setting in a big rubber container. I've carried it back and forth between one garage and another several times. Not light, but it didn't break my back. Long block, I don't think so. I can carry one with another guy, but I can't muster a complete long block.

If it's a long block, just pop the head off, carry it up in two parts.

must be crap apartment if you ever have to worry about your floors sinking down.

 

It took me and a buddy to lift my complete y8 and move it. But I put my z6 short block on my workbench myself. Just take a small rest between flights. There is something I'm forgeting... Oh yeah, QUIT BEING A PUSS AND MAN UP!

lol... It's a Honda engine.... we're not talking about cast iron here. In a pinch, you can lift a long block by yourself. Just buy it, and carry it. If it's too big, take stuff off and make smaller trips.
