Engine Weight?? - LotusTalk

What does just the block and head weight without any of the ancillaries?

All I can find is the dry weight of 115kg (253 lbs). That almost certainly includes the crank, rods, pistons etc.

Thanks. I have bought a blown engine to dissect. What is left of the pistons, crank and other internals will probably keep it around that same amount. I am concerned with the weight for transportation.

Ship the short block in one box and the head in another... Seems like the short block weighs about 80 lbs and the head 60lbs or so... Perfect for fedex. I've done this across the country a few times...

I am planning to make a run down to south Jersey to pick it up. Just trying to figure how much muscle I'll need.
