I have no way of weighing a T-4 motor for a shipping quote. Does anybody have a pretty good idea what a 2.0L T-4 long block with all the following components mounted:

All the cooling tins
Fan housing with fan,
Alternator & dizzy
Flywheel, clutch and pressure plate assembly

(Yes, it has 1.7L heads, but it's a 2.0L)

200lbs in the condition shown.


Either I am a lot stronger than I think or 200 is closer to the truth than 350.

My teenage son & I picked one up and put it on the engine stand with barely a grunt.
175 lbs for each of us sounds a little much when bending over and lifting off the ground (I am an old fart with recent dual hernia surgery).

well, let us know what a crate weighs.

Having shipped a few, and I suspect Mark has also, its 350 crated.
