anybody know the real actual weight of a b16a w/ all internals, and w/o oil.

 

hmm..... a dry B16A, no tranny, i would guess around 200-230?? i know i could almost move mine around, but me and a friend could carry it. youre probably looking for a specific weight, but thats my .02

 

yeah i'm looking for a specific weight, cuz i needs to ship it out.

 

if you ship UPS tell em it's 147.. or else they won't take it.

 

y is that???? isn't that kinda heavy

 

Take it to a butcher they have scales that go high enough

 

I think the cutoff for shipment is 150...

 

Ja it is...so when they put it on the scale...how do you lie then?

 

you "weigh" it before going to the shippers.... I do it all the time. They don't want to lift it, and their scales don't usually go that high, unless they do some big packages.

 

I work foor UPS...they wont ship a complete engine.

 

no... just the block in one box and the head in another.... if you're shipping a tranny then that needs to be seperate

 

The driver has to be able to move the box from the truck to the door.

 

exactly... I can't see any reason to try to ship a whole motor as one unit.. the head and tranny are pretty easy to move, the block is a bit tougher but it's not too bad once you get it started. My UPS guy loves me... He can't get over all the **** I have coming to and from my house... I think he's going to bring his Accord here for me to work on

 

what's a good freighter to go to get this block shipped out too???

 

If the block is 100% stripped then it will weigh around 50lbs only. My B18C1 was 48lbs w/o packaging and was 54lbs on UPS' scale. Cost me $49 to ship to CA from MI w/ insured value of $500ish. Man these engines are light.
