Length from the bell housing flange on the block to the front of the balancer/serpetine pulley: 25.5 inches

from bottom rail of block to highest point on the valve cover 21 inches.

I might be sticking this into a stock chassis if it looks possible.

OK the Length was measured to the Harmonic balancer, which is the farthest forward point on the motor. The timing belts run off the back side of the balancer.

As far as weight goes, I have seen a quoted ship weight of 390lbs for a complete motor. INtake down to oil pan. That was probably with the stock exhaust manifolds. I don't have a scale that will measure that high but let me see what I can come up with.

The Lexus motor is far superior to the northstar POS. This is an all aluminum, 6 bolt steel main caps block. This motor is used to power the Tundra except it is a 5+ litre cast iron block.
