Engine Moving Help

Postby RX-7 Chris » Sun Feb 12, 2012 9:14

I'm needing to move my old 12A engine from the floor to a pallet about 3' away. The engine weighs close to 400 lbs so I can't pick it up by myself. I need to get this done in the next few days. I finally have it sold. I have over 50% of the money and will have the rest on Wednesday. I'm shipping it on Friday so i need to get this done ASAP.

If someone could please help it would be much appreciated.

Give me a call on my cell if you can: 719-650-1910

no one? I have the pallet moved right up next to the motor so the motor needs to be moved about 18". It is all ready to go and I think it actually weighs closer to 350 lbs.

only thing that surprised the hell out of me was the headers that kept hitting my foot or the transmission you had behind the motor.
