Lycoming crate size please.
Hi. It’s wet and cold here in NZ now. Into winter. Next winter my engine will likely be here. My shed is a steel clad shed and the concrete gets quite moist. Probably not a good environment for storage for anything. But my games room is dry. Has insulated walls and carpet. Plus a beer fridge which probably creates a little heat. I have decided to extend my games room to provide a storage area for my aircraft parts and engine.
Does anyone know the crate size the engine comes in? I’d like to make a space for it and a door suitable. The little storage room is only 2.3 metres by 3.1 metres.( Ok 7.5 feet by 10 feet) but will be dry.
Cheers.

No dimensions but maybe perspective will help.

If you are getting your Lycoming from any other engine builder, will usually be std pallet size.
Aerosport Power is 48"x40"x32". Don't know what that is in Kiwi lingo

My M1B Direct from Lycoming, was shipped on a crate that would not even come close to fitting through a 36 inch wide door. I had to cut a wider opening into the back climate controlled room of my barn. I still have the crate but I’m not at home, so I can’t give you a measurement. I will say that my opening is now 48 inches wide and it will get through. I hope that helps.

That engine shown in Wirejock's photo fit in the back of my '03 Toyota Tundra that has a shell on it. There was plenty of room. I expect that your shed, assuming it will fit through the door, is more than ample.
