Does anyone know the weight of the X1/9 1500cc engine? Making a A frame to lift engines, hoping to use an electric hoist but need to know the engine weight so I don't overload the hoist. I know the X1/9 engine drops out of the body but would use the hoist on other projects where the engine would need to be lifted from the car.
Thanks in advance.
 
It must be around 50 to 60 kg. can't be much more than that as I have lifted one out of a van and onto the ground on my own.
I'm not Arnie either!
 
Thanks for the reply Sledgehammer. Decided to go for a 1 ton block and tackle instead of an electric winch so should be no overload issues.
