What cars have engines that can be rebuilt in an apartment with flights of stairs? Meaning what cars have an engine (or atleast the longblock) that a ~20 yr old male can carry up a set of stairs. Carbed or fi is fine.
Messerschmitt KR200
>>28803703>look up engine by weight>can YOU carry that weight?are you smoking crack op
Small CC motorcycle. Small car engines if you have a dolly.
>>28803703>memories of being chewed out and counseled for having car parts and an engine in my barracks room as a zogletIt's whatever you can lift, or lift with an oversized hand cart and straps. If you break through the concrete, it's clearly too heavy.But if you've only got your hands, Geo Metro owners have done engine rebuilds in their apartment, so stuff under 1.5L tends to be really friendly towards /o/tists poor in cash but rich in wrench.
Rolls Royce Meteor.

WRX
>>28803723One wheels their windows agape for a vast entrance my dear man.
>>28803703hook a hand crank winch to the upper railing and pull the block up the stairs by ratchet strapping iot to a piece of plywood
>>28803703the suzuki g10 engine in the geo metro. you can pull lift the long block with your bare hands
>>28803703>~20 yr old male can carry up a set of stairsThat varies widely. If you're 135lbs, it's not gonna be much. If you're 300lbs and play offensive lineman in college it's gonna be a lot.
>>28803703I learned how to rebuild rotaries in the world's sketchiest motel room with an engine builder who was touring a bunch of cities. it was on the ground floor but you could feasibly lift a 13b up a set of stairs with two dudes in decent shape. helps to tear it down first though.
Sounds more like you want an engine you can rebuild in the car. Or a car where you're not going to have to rebuild the engine until you have an actual garage
what's your deadlift 1rm and what do you do for 30 reps of lunges
>>28803703just carry it up stairs one cylinder and a time and assemble it once you get it all up there.
>>28803703
>>28803703bike engine swap your car. or just get a motorbike
damn when I was young, I put a suzuki in my dorm room using the lift. a friend helped to put it on its rear tire so that it would fit.good timeI'd advise you to ask help from several friends and use a wood beam to lift the block.
>>28803775Can confirm, alloy block engines are light. I have the G13.>>28803891Came here to post this. I've seen a strong man carry a two rotor long block on his own
>>28803735A scholarly assessment, I finally see.
I had to look at the big picture and move to a house with a garage. Took 5 years leaving a clunker on the road but jfc its so much better now.
>>28803703Any sub 3.0L inline 4, any motorcycle engine, you could also consider a van that has a dog house so you can work inside of the van to service it.
I worked for a package service a long time ago and saw V8 Rover (Buick 216) engines come through. No fluids no ancilliaries but they were handled just like a normal oversize parcel.
