I've lifted plenty of inline engines with my crane, but never a Type IV, or any other flat engine. I need to do this to load it into a truck for shipping. I was thinking of making a sling out of webbing, or something similar. Anyone have any comments?

It's not that heavy for an engine, but it's a pretty good hunk of mass and it would really suck to drop it. My absolutely complete 2.0 was a pretty good heft for 2 normal sized guys. I would guess it was about 275 pounds (about 9 boxster mufflers?(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ph34r.gif)) maybe 290. I know my Suby is 254 pounds and the T4 was a bit heavier. |
