Hi all
New member here looking to buy an engine - preferably a restorable old Lister L or K, or maybe an A? I was concerned about actually picking one up from a seller though - are they too heavy to manhandle into the back of a 4x4 or get onto a trailer?  How much do they weigh? How many people would be needed to lift one?
Thanks

Thanks for that link. So in conclusion, very, VERY heavy! 😨
