How heavy is a B20? 120-130

Jim Morris & I just lifted one out of his pickup truck by ourselves
about 2 weeks ago. I really don't recommend this unless you
have a really good back!

There were 3 of us to get it in the truck however. Everything was attached
including carbs and tranny. I would take off the tranny, exhuast,
and intake (with carbs) if you have the time to do so.
Make it as light as you can

About a month ago I pulled one out of a basement in DC. It took
4 of us to get it out once the tranny, exhaust, & intake manifolds
were off. We had to go up 15 steep steps, through the house, and
down the front steps to my truck. the guy had literally built his
addition around the engine. It had been in his basement since the
late 70's when the car was rear-ended. 50,000 miles on her!

4 people was much better than 3 or 2 !!!! ha ha ha!

Jim on the other hand has told me he has done them by himself!
He is also fit and in his mid twenties!!!

hope something in here helped...lol

cheers,

karl
