I have an opportunity pick up a complete engine and transmission. Anyone know the approximate weight?
It has everything attached: Starter, Gen, carb, etc.
I'm thinking 1000lbs?

Doing a quick internet search seems to suggest opinions vary. The most common seem to be in the 450-500 lbs range for just the engine. I seem to recall a transfer case is in the 250-275 lb range so a trans shouldn't be much more than 300-325. That would put it in the 750-850 lb range. I think 1000lbs is conservative but not outside a possibility.

Thank you. Just needed some idea if my truck can handle the weight to transport it.

The seller is deciding upon my offer. It's a 5hr drive one way but will be worth it if accepted.

by just me
Complete engine package, radiator to tailshaft isn't too bad. Engine is under 500. Transmission is under 175 w/o PTO. radiator is under 50. My 1000 lb lift doesn't go to bypass when lifting and moving them around here. I almost always move them as an assembly.
