When I was in my 20s I use to do that all of the time, I didn't own a engine hoist, now in my fifties I can barely carry a gallon of milk with hurting my back.
My dad told me his drunkard of a friend in the 80s had took a peice of plywood and put it under the car; took out the motor mounts and set it on the plywood; dragged the plywood over under another car; which he had removed it's motor the same way; and put the new motor in.
@@multyryex1761 Do you see the bent in his arms? Also lifting with upper back is fine. Is this optimal? No. Is this as bad as pussy ass people who gave never even deadlifed 600 pounds think it is? No.
How did you come up with that ? Regular engine jacks are made in range of 200-450kg, and a tiny 1.3L engine isn't gonna break any jack you hang it on. My guess is somewhere between 80-120kg. Still impressive though.
