I'll be buying a S13 SR20DET front clip in the next few weeks, but I've got some questions.

The clip will weigh about 1500 lbs, correct ?

Is a forklift the only way to move one ? (maybe several heavy duty moving creeper carts ?)

How large are the pallets ? I've got limited side to side clearace on my driveway. (about 7 1/2 - 8 feet)

Also, I'll be doing a auto - 5speed conversion. Will the clutch master cylinder off the JDM clip work on a USDM S13 ?And what driveshaft should I get ? 89-90 5speed, or 91-93 5speed non HICAS ? Or is there a differance ?

Any of this info would be great. If the pallet is too wide, I may have to do the swap at my folks house. ( which I'm sure they'd just looove )

I was able to lift mine with a 2 ton capacity cherry picker. And the pallet is roughly the size of the clip.

So it'd be about 6 feet wide fender to fender, and I can measure my car to get an estimate of the length (bumper to shifter).

I think getting the clip up the driveway with a forklift might be a problem with the clearance issue.
