Engine about 350 lbs .... tranny about 80 lbs 3 ton floor jack works wonderfully I have to disagree with the motor being 350 pounds. My wife and I lifted one of my motors into the bed of my pickup. I doubt she can dead lift 175 lbs. My guess is the motor weighs about 180-200 lbs. Why not use a furniture dolly and use the Pelican method? I made mine for $20 using wheels from Home Depot (2 swivel and 2 stationary) and 2x4s I had lying around. |

Ummm... she must be strong (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) The engine with everything on it is rather heavy and is much more that 200lbs. |
