cmamtower Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Whats the best way to pull a motor that weighs about 300 lbs without a hoist? I guess me and wL<3bass can just pick it up out but i dont wanna scratch the crap outta my front end pulling that one out and putting the new one in. I got a front end loaded about 30 miles from here but have no way to get the car there. i would use that to pull the motor but no way to get the car there... lol apparently you dont get the fact that the subaru was wrapped around a pole. and by the status of your comment, im guessing your mouth is too.

cmamtower Posted April 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 what kind of car sometimes you can lift the front of the put it on jack stands and drop the motor from underneath its a civic, and no jack or jackstands i have will go up high enough for it to come out the bottom, even if i could get it from the bottom, how would i get the new motor back in without scratching the hell outta my front end and getting it lines up with the mounts? apparently you dont get the fact that the subaru was wrapped around a pole. and by the status of your comment, im guessing your mouth is too.

cmamtower Posted April 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 i mean just me and him loaded it into his truck, its not that heavy at all. i mean 150 lbs a person is nothing, its just the fact that its kinda hard to pick it up past the waist because of the awkwardness of the motor. apparently you dont get the fact that the subaru was wrapped around a pole. and by the status of your comment, im guessing your mouth is too.

cmamtower Posted April 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Get a couple mates around, a bunch to lift/hold it. A few to do up bolts etc. the most i can have at one given time is me and 3 others, but finding the time to do it because they all work all the time is another piece of the puzzle lol apparently you dont get the fact that the subaru was wrapped around a pole. and by the status of your comment, im guessing your mouth is too.

OrionStang Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 I used to do civic motor swaps all the time. Put a jack under the engine. Disconnect the tranny from motor. Undo the motor mounts. Three or four guys with balls to lift it out. It helps if you deadlift 600 like me SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
