Simple as really I would like to know if a built mini engine will fit in a 2002 ish Honda Jazz

[Will16]

Yes, but more interestingly, why would you?!

[Ben_O]

Of course, even if you fold the seats down.

 

The biggest problem is getting it in and out unless you have a hoist both ends

[Ben_O]

Yes, but more interestingly, why would you?!

To get it home....

[Daniel_moody25]

Well I don't particularly want to put it in the mini and I'm not old enough to hire a van and can't find anyone that will lend me one so had a mate offer his jazz

[Will16]

Completely mid-read that, I was thinking the OP wanted to power a Jazz with a Mini engine.. ffs!

The typical not quite giving enough info.

So you don't want to put it in the Jazz just move it in a Jazz.

I thought exactly the same 

[Matt's Dad]

Have done something similar into a Toyota Yaris... If the gearbox is attached you've got yourself a real challenge. Realistically if you don't have a hoist, you're going to need a lot of manpower and some significant protection around the tailgate lip. Like a couple of planks to slide it across the lip... And some strops to lift the engine with... and a lot of thought about how you're going to rotate the engine as needed to get it in, and again, a lot of muscle...

Good luck.

Yes it is to move the engine from one place to another not to power the Jazz

same here

It'll go in a Mini fairly easily in place of a front seat. You could chop up a pallet to make a platform level with the doorstep. Lash and chock it in well. Sure you could do the same if your mate doesn't mind you dismantling his car.

Thanks, I didn't think it was too unclear

[sledgehammer]

now it's clear you want to transport a mini engine in a honda jazz ...

 

as above pallets to get the hight , plank to slide across the door step

 

strip of carpet under the gearbox , pull on the strip to move it -

 

much more stable than trying to move the engine higher up when it's in the car

 

a spade is also a good way to drag it on the ground , to get it to the car

 

use ratchet straps to secure it in the car , not safety belts

 

fit in passenger side where seat was - if in boot - not on spare wheel , some where it can be clamped with ratchet strap

 

old blanket to stop grease getting into carpet

 

remember the engine will have high inertia - so drive smoothly ,
