Those that have done it how do you take an s13 front clip into your garage?

Well, im getting a motor from an shop located in Florida and they said they are shipping it to an location in my area but I have to go and pick it up myself. So I dont how I am going to lift that beast on to a loader into my garage? Any idea how? Anything would help guys thanks.....

Get at least 8 friends and rent a trailer. You can all pick the thing up and carry it where it needs to go.

Thanks, ill try to come up with 8 friends, but i was just curious. Was this how you did it?

Any decent shop would ship it do your house, and then you'd pay an extra 50 bones for a liftgate truck and be done with it.

I put wheels on the clip and then you and your friend can just pull it around.Its much less work to do it this way.

just find a pick up truck and haul it around on that. i seen an S-10 carry one with no problem

The company i bought mine from said it would fit on a liftgate, then come to find out the trucking company said it wouldn't. I had to hire a roll-back to go get it, it cost me like $75 for that but he dropped it in my garage and we moved with the engine hoist. Only pain was gettin it off the palet.

Yep thats how i did it

Cardinal Performance has a forklift, so he just set it on the trailer for me. As for getting it off, I just pushed it down the ramps(its a equipment trailer)

Once it was on the ground, my brother and I wheeled it into the back using 2 floor jacks.

i used my engine lift to move the clip around. also, if ur using a truck with one of those long ladders, u can slide it down that.

I didn't get a clip, I got a motorset. The delivery guy lowered it with a liftgate and it was on a pallet, so he wheeled it into my garage on a little powered mini forklift dealy, the kind with the fork and handle. But, if they can't do that, get friends and adding wheels and tires to it sounds like a great idea.

Well, about the 8 guy holling the front clip around is "HARDER" then it seems/believe. I've just tried it today with actaully 10 of us and it was impossible and i also dont recommend doing that, someone can injured there back. We figured out an easier way and its been said alrdy, using a engine lifter to pick up the whole cliff using either 1 or 1 1/2 weight set and lift it off the surface and then use couple guys pulling the lifter with few guys pushing from the clip. Try it this way if your out or idea's it worked for me ^^ GOOD LUCK!!

Damn. When I picked up the spare KA that I used for my KA-T project, me and 3 other guys lifted it up ourselves from a pallet up into the back of my mom's station wagon. ...And the thing still had the manual transmission on it! The KA is a bigger engine with an iron block, so I dont see why anyone would have any trouble at all with a SR and a few friends. Its not even 500lbs, you cant lift 1/4 of that??

Comeon guys, man up!

I think he was talking about moving a clip, at least I hope so for their sake.

I used the engine hoist.
