2.0 engine weight? Options

[ccj]

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.

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.

Isn't Lista the company that sponsored the Horag Lista Ferrari 333 SP and Porsche RS Spyder teams in IMSA and ALMS? Drivers were Fredy Lienhard and Didier Theys, with others in the long events.

Good luck with the engine build. Dinner with the kids with an engine assembly underway on the same table should be educational. Your kids will grow up to be mechanics or engineers, or just think daddy was nuts... Just kidding! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I rebuilt a 2.0 on a Work-Mate bench in the den adjacent to the dining room of my first house. I had a cheap set of metal shelves to store tools and parts next to it. Cardboard and an old rug to protect the tile floor. All of the dirty work was done outside in the carport and back yard. The rebuild turned out okay and I drove it for years afterwards. Still have the Work-Mate in my garage. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
