I need this info for shipping: weight, height,width & length. My dub and engine are not handy to do these measurments. Any feedback would be apreciated馃榿

Are you talking about a car, an engine or what?

I shipped a 1200 engine from Brisbane 2 yrs ago, it weighed in at 91 kg by itself. I wouldn't expect that there would be that much weight difference between the models? I would quote it at 95kg plus the weight of pallet, etc.

That sounds about right. Thankyou Simon馃憤 Now all i need are dimentions. I said to Toll Ipec " about flat4 size" apparently they don't own dubs or they don't have a sence of humor, as that was not good enough馃榿

is it just a long block?
cos u would be amazed how much weight there is in the tinware, generator, carb etc
ive carried 36hp engines by myself but i certainly wouldnt try it with a 1600
no wonder i have a fk'd back...

according to my owners book an unladen '63 1200 sedan weighs in at 740kg, convertible 800kg

oh and a US sales brochure I have has a deluxe at 1631 pounds and a standard at 1564. I didnt think those chrome strips were that heavy!
for comparison a 1962 type 3 sedan = 880kgs, a "station car" with 375kg payload capacity was 985kg and the 460kg capacity 995kg. 10 kg of extra torsion bar!
