A TR2-3-4 engine block with the crank caps and bolts, weighs very close to =
140 lbs. That is just the casting, no internals. =20
I did the study for shipping one a few years ago. =20
I ended up meeting a good racer friend at Portland Raceway to pick up the b=
lock instead of shipping it. I lifted the block out of his van and placed =
it in my car by myself. =20
The crank and head are the other heaviest items at around 50 lbs. each.
