Depends on the rear springs. On an MGB at least when fully fitted out =
and sitting on its wheels there should be a curve in the rebound straps, =
which means they can be fitted and removed easily without any additional =
weight. However for some time springs were way too hard and/or arched =
which jacked the rear right up and additional weight had to be added to =
compress them enough. It's hardly surprising that without an =
engine/gearbox higher, although I do remember someone asking why his =
suspension was fully extended front and rear, with engine and gearbox =
fitted, and he only mentioned later that it was on a rotator ...

You had better luck than I did. I was trying to do it without the =
engine or transmission in the car. I wound up piling 5 spare wheels and =
tires plus a heavy toolbox in the boot, plus everything else heavy I =
could find in the cockpit. Managed it, though.
