gen3's arnt that heavy. I took delivery of one at my mums house only to forget that my VK at that time was chocked up on all 4 wheels and the diff etc removed... and wasnt able to get the motor in.

Brainwave... rope around the headers and around our necks.. my mate and i lifted it and walked around the back door with it.

hrmmm i dare say 180 - 200 kgs?? dry weight. no ancillaries on it

i weighed it last night. 214kgs wet complete except for a/c. got the motor in now looke sweet and has less issues for space than i thought it would.

i made booty fab engine mounts to accept the std holden rubbers as they are far bigger than the nissan ones. i mouned a rev chain too. basically made the chassis look like I_ and the motor -\

cheers bru
