Weight of S1 engine + Manual Gearbox

[lemsua]

Could anybody give me a rough weight of a s1 v6 engine and manual gearbox (still joint)

I brought one with 190000ks on it to replace my s1 engine and auto and need to ship from Palmaston North to ChCh in New Zealand

Also what you reckon S1 v6 (210k runs mint) + dyin auto is worth?

Cheers, Sam

engine is prob about 100-150kg and the gear box is about 50/60kg... so around the 200kg mark id say maybe less...

youll get bee's dick all for the engine and trans combo... 50-100 if your lucky.

I think you will find the V6 on its own will be getting close to 200kg with some ancilliaries still on it, with the T5 as well, i'd say the whole lot would be up around 250-260kg.

You might be able to stick it out the front and mount a letterbox on it or donate it to your local maritime reserve as part of an artificial reef.

haha thanks guys, yeah i was lookin at doin a manual conversion and picked up a s1 engine and manual g/b with 190k on it for nz$450 so pretty happy about that, just gotta find a way to ship the bloody thing now

best to just ring around the freight companies. because it's going accross cook straight it's probably not to cheap. be good if the guy sending it can strap it to a pallet also

[lemsua]

yeah ive been ringin around, havent got exact measurements to go by so only have rough quotes, but they've been about 600 which is pretty steep

im considerin drivin up with me and a mate if i cant find anything cheaper.

can anyone recommend a crowd who might be cheaper? or anyone driving from palmy down to chch who wants free petrol?

I've been trying to get a pair of heads I bought on ebay from Brisbane down here, rang just about every company I can find and got quotes from 350 to 1100 dollars!: P madness I could fly there myself and get them for those kind of prices
