What is the approximate weight of both the engine and automatic transmission? IF it's under 500 Lbs. I can use the hoist but if more then I have to drop it down under the car.

I recommend a read here -----> http://www.sl113.org/wiki/Engine/Overhaul

If I had this project I would also check our tech manual under Engine and if no one ever listed the weights then I would PM Joe Alexander or the Benz Dr. (Both I am sure have the answer at there fingertips).

Good luck

Cheers,

Dieter

Thanks for the information I went to the link and found out that I will be able to lift the motor and transmission.
