Just putting it out there for the reference information.

1HZ out of a HZJ75 troopy. Complete with everything as you'd remove it from the vehicle. Flywheel, clutch, alternator, manifolds, oil in the sump ect. Just missing the fan.

331.5kg/730lbs

4BD1+T out of a Defender, Perentie bellhousing and sump. Everything on it, as above except with a turbo and fan.

337kg/743lbs

So I'd say they're about the same once the turbo comes off. Both weighed with the same scale, both zerod for the weight of the engine leveler.

I wish I had have weighed my 3B when it was out, I didn't have the scales then. I don't imagine it's significantly lighter. I have a spare 3B but it's in bits.

Ha that is pretty cool. Always wondered how heavy the big block of metal was.

You and me both!

I've got a clutch to do on a TD42 in the next few weeks so I'll weigh that while it's out. It will be interesting to see how the competition compares.
A place I work has a few old 2Hs sitting in the yard. From memory they're incomplete but we should be able to stitch together enough stuff for a reasonably accurate weight.

Not as relevant on here but I also weighed a Land Rover 2.25 diesel 5MB. Equipped as above except with the (quite heavy) starter motor. 275kg/606lbs
I might find one to weigh one day but you'd think a 200/300tdi is around the same given they're based on same block but with an alloy head and the addition of a turbo. Again, no one is swapping a Rover TDi into a Toyota but it was one of the competitive engines/models of the time.

Is that an old 165 still doing the job?

Indeed it's a 178, the 165s big brother. It's quite the handy machine, I don't actually own any land but I don't know how I lived without a tractor! Topically, the South African Land Rovers with the 4.236 perkins would of been a fantastic machine for an industrial fleet in it's time. They're really to heavy and low revving to be a good conversion today.

There's quite a few 100 series masseys still earning their keep down here. Recently I got the job to revive a 165 and 175. I'd like to say these are the roughest vehicles anyone has paid me to work on, but alas.

I got the TD42 out. I hate working on Nissans. It's a 1997 blacktop. That's minus the load leveler so call it 344kg in a comparable state to the others. Just a little heavier than the 1HZ.
