We pulled Larry Macy's engine last summer and it was less than 3 tons. We
had a 3 ton engine hoist and it handled it fine. ;-)
Sorry to be a smarta.. but I really don't know the engine weight. I believe
the entire car (wet) is around 1900 lbs. I wouldn't try to lift the 1500
engine out without a hoist, like Frank does with 1275s.
