    a 500kg unit (the one from supercheap) will lift both the diesel engine and the gearbox.

    For spelling call Rogets, for mechanicing call me.

    If you think you're in front on the deal, pay it forwards.

    Teri Ann Wakeman lists the engine weight at 204 kg, see

    Power specs for engines commonly used in Series Land Rover engine conversion

    She doesn't say if this is inclusive of manifolds, starter and so on.

    Two people can easily lift a gearbox plus transfer case, and I can move one around by myself, one end at a time. Best guess would be 50 kg, definitely well under 100 kg.

    Bottom line, both together would be under 300kg.

    I bought a 1 tonne block and tackle on ebay for $49, plus $15 delivery. No problems at all to get the engine out, see www.greenacre.biz for pictures.

    When I put them back (Real Soon Now) I'll put the engine and gearbox back as a single unit - much easier than balancing the buggers on the engine mounts while you try to mate them.

    the trick to that is a block of pine wood under the cross member...

    I prefer putting them in seperately unless the firewall is off in which case do them together.

    Thanks for all the replies guys I will look around for a 500k hoist.
    The other option is maybe a steel A frame and a block and tackle, what do you think?
