How heavy do you think a A14 & 5-Speed weigh's together ?? Just a rough guess Thanks, and thats full of oil, with twin carbs etc.

I will get killed if anybody at work or my wife finds out that I lifted a A14 & 5-Speed box by myself onto a stainless steel trolly about a foot off the ground.

Might not be a big deal but Im not the stereotype Firefighter, you know 6ft+ tall and built like a brick ####house, Im 5ft 6 and a bit of a runt but Im real handy for tight rescue's . So Im just interested what it weigh's.

150-200kgs. ?

You're bloody huge..
That's a decent lift.

Cheers,
Chris

hey ur wouldnt be much taller than me i reckon im a bout 5 ft
my mum is shorter than me and by bro who is 21 this year is like 3 cm taller than me if that so im like pay back time when he is shorter but the yare both short asses

That should have been 5ft 10 , I think thats about 170cm's ??? I still cant beleave I did it as I had a big day at work and I was stuffed. Still running on andrenlien. But I had a few scotch's after the lift though !!

150-200 is a bit of a lift I guess but I lifted at the front and had the leverage of the gearbox to help. I dought it very much I could do it without the box etc.

i once lifted a ford 250 cross flow off a trailer its probly as heavy as the a12 with the gear box #### it was heavy im only about 5,7 and 98 kgs boss was pissed cause i broke the number plate light

An A12 weighs less than 90 and with box 110kgs so take it easy as a 250 crossflows weights 4 times more!

any news on motor and box amshaw

A while ago I was asking what is the best way to get a A12 out of the engine bay without an endless chain etc.

Most said that 2 blokes can lift it out no prob's and I thought that was a bit too much but I just lifted my A12 out of the wreak in the shed with no prob's , so I stand corrected !! But as I said to another member Im used to working with Holden V8's and turbo Auto's.

Just b careful man 110kgs in an engine is not as easy as a barbell and your back doesnt deserve it but then again a holden is a killer in weight and so is a ford 250. Man u guys must b hercules offspring.
