Hi guys would anybody have an estimate of the weight of the AMC 4.0 litre Xj engine for shipping purposes other then f^&%ing heavy?????

I lifted the block out of my ute without the head on it and I would guess 100kg (about the weight of a big bloke). Add 25-35kg (about the weight of a 8yeard old) for the head and tins = 135kg. That's just guessing, others may have a more accurate measurement than thier kids and friends.

I have pulled a few but all I know is that they are heavy...

I have a request to send one to WA so I need to have an estimate of weight for the courier...

Wikipedia to the rescue!


The total weight of the new engine was 483 pounds (219.1 kg)
