23" short block weight?


CO54

Recommended Posts

So, I'm almost down to a short block, once the valves and cam come out the last thing will be the water distribution tube.  I've made some attempts with no luck.  I don't have the cherry picker right now, so I'm curious if the boys and I can pull if off the stand and set it down? Really just looking for a rough idea on the weight. I want to get it stood on the rear end so I can get the tube filled with penetrating oil and keep trying to get it removed.   

Thanks in advance.

750 lbs seems kinda high for a fully assembled 23" engine..

565 lbs was stuck in my mind on a post as long time ago.

I can concur with 150# to 160# weight.  Got the bare block pulled from the engine stand yesterday with help from the wifey.  I can move it around when it's standing up relatively easily on my own.
