I need an estimate for the weight of a complete 2.0 engine assembly. I will be doing a build over the winter inside on the dining room table.

Sure doesn't feel like 321lbs

Wish I would have had a way to weigh mine before I sold it...maybe I'll weigh the 911 engine before I put it in to get some real world weights.

Ok, I'll say 250 fully dressed but no way 320. The small 6's are 400 fully dressed and I'm pretty sure that includes heeat exchangers and exhaust.

Maybe 320 includes the 70lb trans?

My dining room table might hold 250 but I wouldn't do it. Find a workbench or old heavy duty steel office desk on craigslist.

40 - 60 bucks will get you an engine stand from HF, but then you need to spring for a VW/Porsche adapter. Anybody know where to get one of those cheap?

250? 321? So, which is it? This question has been asked before and no one seems to know for sure. Lots of opinions though. Go figure. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

That link you posted says 307lbs for the engine. Are you saying the tranny is 14lbs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

the tranny is around 75
the motor is approximately 250

It can be more with shipping crates, etc.
(-6 motors are 400)

IMO the reason this question is always asked and we always get many
different answers, and even books like Ludvigsen are not necessarily
consistent, is because:

What do you include when you are talking about the engine?

Intake and FI attached?
Exhaust system and muffler attached?
Flywheel?
In the case of 914/914-6, fan, oil tank?

For example, 914-6 engine weight listed as 387 pounds. However,
I recently measured only 285 pounds for my 2.2 on 914-6 case,
without fan, carbs, exhaust.

Most listings are fully dressed including exhaust. I don't include the trans when i'm thinking engine weight but apparently some sites do.

2.0 4 cyl, or the 2.0 6?

I assume 4, but I am not sure.

Fully dressed?

Here is the scoop for those still interested.
I have decided to replace the dining room table with a 6 foot industrial work bench from Lista that will hold 1000 lbs. I will be assembling a complete 2.0/4 on one end and have seating for 3 on the other end. Once complete I will swap out my 1.8. I wanted to still drive my car while building an engine. I am divorced with 2 kids. I kept everything with wheels on it, she got the furniture.

I rebuilt an ARB air locker on a toilet seat in a motel once. The bathroom had better lighting and it was freezing outside.
