Does Anyone Know The Weight Of A 2.0l Pinto Engine

[Guest mgor]

Hi,

I'm planning for my winter project - rebuilding a 2.0L pinto engine to fit in my 3a ready for next year. I'm trying to buy an engine stand but can't find out the weight I need - can anyone help?

 

Thanks

Marcus

I think it's in the region of 190kg complete.

On another website it says 145kg so take your choice.

[Guest Takumi]

Its safe to say it weighs too much..lol!

 

I would have thought around the 150kg mark.

Less than 200 kg I think, so the smaller of the standard engine stands will do it - in fact I've got a Ford V6 sitting on my 3-legged one right now so I guess (hope) it's strong enough. The only snag I found with the 3-legged/single front front leg type was a bit of instability now and again.

I use one of these engine stands with no problem except if wheeling it loaded over uneven ground. Best thing is it is cheap and packs away small.

My pinto sat fine on the 3 leg engine stand from machinemart, no leaning at all..

 

LotusBob has got a zetec on the 4 leg engine stand and that seems to be leaning an awful lot..! I looks like its almost hanging off.. but I suspect its solid, but just at a funny angle..

Thanks all - I have ordered one up

That's a shame, not far from you could have sold you mine!

[Guest Dan_Beeston]

Did you go for the three leg one?

 

I have the Machine Mart 4-leg version & wish I had the 3 leg one, the main reason being the legs of my stand interfere with the legs on my engine crane when I'm hoisting the engine into the stand!

 

With a three leg stand the middle leg should slide between the legs of a crane a treat..........

Hey Mat,

Hows it going? finished that kit yet?

 

Thanks
