Mr2 Engine

Post by taxman2014 »

Might be picking up an engine for my rev 3 uk mr2.

I was wondering how heavy an engine is? And can it fit into a golf?

Thanks!

engine with gearbox is very heavy 190kg. Doubt two people could lift it. Without the gearbox two people to lift engine and one to lift gearbox.

If you're putting it in the boot of a car make sure it is strapped down.

That's an arbitrary question... I'd say it's your call.
