Just the engine with no carbs, sheet metal, or air cleaner, and no trani.
i'm wondering how many people I am going to need to help me pick one up and put it in a pickup truck or the back of my Subaru. Any ideas out there? |

I think aaron, scott kline, and i picked up a stripped down 2.2 six. So maybe 2 full grown adults could do it? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Howard and I hoisted one into the back of my Tahoe.
Didn't seem too bad. Although, I did hear funny noises coming from Howards body... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

QUOTE(ZZZZZ @ Jul 23 2006, 07:33 PM)  160 ish..... 160-ish sounds very light. A Type IV, fully dressed, weighs over 250lbs. A fully-dressed all-alloy Alfa twincan four weighs about 220lbs, and is one of the lighter engines I know for it's size (2.0L). The weight I remember for a fully dressed mag-cased Six is about 375lbs. The carbs weigh maybe 20lbs. The tin is not at all heavy (maybe 5lbs). The early metal air cleaner is actually remarkably heavy at 20-25lbs. Still, that only drops the total weight to maybe 325lbs or thereabouts. I haven't weighed the 2.7 longblock I have in the garage, but it's a lot heavier than 160lbs. I'd say three people at a minimum. |

IIRC, a fully dressed six is 350 lbs.

Thanks everybody.
It sounds like I'll need at least 3 old farts to pick this thing up. As soon as it cools off a bit I'll post some pictures of the car it goes with in a new thread. Newly acquired /6 -- on the 22nd -- but its been too hot to drive it or hardly even look at it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) |
