Max load in boot

[peachroomtom]

Whats the max load a 182 boot can take? Im due to pick up a new 2.0 16v engine this weekend and wondering if I can just put it in the boot with the back seats down and scaffold boards across the floor and seats to spread the weight and protect the trim.

it'll be fine, no difference to having 3 really fat mates in the car! lol

That should be fine, two adults would weight more than the engine anyway, the max load would probably be 3 adults in the back seats plus luggage, so one engine shouldn't be a problem. The main concern is to make sure it's stable.
