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)   |

QUOTE sometimes being argumentative is just not helpful. My point is that you cannot believe anything on the internet anymore. Right above we have someone that says "It weighs 250" that JUST WEIGHED IT. And then someone else says it weighs 350. Which is it? I trust the "bought a shipping scale" more than my guess, but my guess was right. My "gut" (literally) told me it does not weigh 350 because I picked one up and put it on the stand. |

I think the lowest I got it was 325, fully dressed motor and the thinnest crate I had the courage to build. |
