Hauling a motor in car?

Post by Rick Johnson »

Hey guys I got an Mx-3 I bought in T.O a while back, Anyways I may be picking up an Mx-6 in the neighborhood, and I was thinking maybe I'll snag a KLZE on the way back <I live in SK>, Is there anyway to put a motor inside a car, like the trunk to haul...... I've never done it b4 but I suppose the motor isn't that big cause it doesn't come with a tranny...Is it possibly? anyone done it b4?

with the seat folded down you should be able to fit 2, if not 3 K-series in the back. They aren't very big at all.

I know a dood who fit 3 BPT's in the back seat of his protege, and they have only a slightly wider rear bench than the mx3's

Only problem you'll have its getting it in the hatch. Your going to have to get the boom of the crane as close to the engine as you can so you don't hit the hatch.

easiest thing to do would be to remove the passenger seat and then shove it on the floor next to the drivers seat. That way you wouldn't have to use a hoist to get it in the hatch (or 4 ppl helping u lift it).

Thanks for the reply's, I don't think it's a possibility now tho because I'm importing the mx-6 from the US and it's going to cost a little more then expected...plane tickets $550 alone, then excise tax, and GST, then PST when i get it home, among other fees...ouch
