I6 230CID Engine Weight?

[rcamacho]

I'm pulling the 230 out of my M37 shortly and want to make sure the engine stand and picker I buy/rent are appropriately sized. Anyone happen to know the approximate weight of the 230 and transmission assembly?

the 230 is about 606lbs with trans its about 713lbs

when picking out a hoist and stand remember that offshore tons are not always the same as American tons. Chinese tons often = .5 American tons

that's about right, i bought a "4000 lb" load leveler off amazon, the shackle that came with it was stamped ".93T" and i was able to break the chains that came with it with just a prybar trying to pull dents out of a truck.
