Here is the scoop for those still interested.
I have decided to replace the dining room table with a 6 foot industrial work bench from Lista that will hold 1000 lbs. I will be assembling a complete 2.0/4 on one end and have seating for 3 on the other end. Once complete I will swap out my 1.8. I wanted to still drive my car while building an engine. I am divorced with 2 kids. I kept everything with wheels on it, she got the furniture.

We're just giving you a hard time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I built my 1st engine (1600) in a walk in closet

I rebuilt an ARB air locker on a toilet seat in a motel once. The bathroom had better lighting and it was freezing outside.

good lighting, work bench AND parts washer in one place (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif)

Isn't Lista the company that sponsored the Horag Lista Ferrari 333 SP and Porsche RS Spyder teams in IMSA and ALMS? Drivers were Fredy Lienhard and Didier Theys, with others in the long events.

Good luck with the engine build. Dinner with the kids with an engine assembly underway on the same table should be educational. Your kids will grow up to be mechanics or engineers, or just think daddy was nuts... Just kidding! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I rebuilt a 2.0 on a Work-Mate bench in the den adjacent to the dining room of my first house. I had a cheap set of metal shelves to store tools and parts next to it. Cardboard and an old rug to protect the tile floor. All of the dirty work was done outside in the carport and back yard. The rebuild turned out okay and I drove it for years afterwards. Still have the Work-Mate in my garage. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Thanks, hers cost more but mine is still better! Now for some cool stools to set around it. How about a complete motorsports dining room theme? This could happen with a few vintage signs on the walls too.

I am guessing the 2.0 weighs 2/3rds of the 3.0 but the amount of oil needed and larger oil tank needs to be taken into consideration, agreed? Gets complicated...

nope
they are different designs
one is twin overhead cams
the other a single cam
one has timing chains and a dry sump pump..
the other doesn't

the answer is (depending on specific model)
250 for a 4 cylinder
400 for a 6 cylinder

You are right, they are different
But if your estimated weights are correct 2/3 of a 3.0 is pretty close guess.
2/3 of 400 is 266 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
