Anyone weighed one? This is a complete engine, no trans.
 
The longblock weighs 584 lbs.
 
The short block with no timing cover, chain, upper or lower oil pans, flex plate, or bell housing comes in at 320 pounds even.
 
Bump for this oldie, but goodie bits of info. I needed to know how heavy two short blocks are for shipping purposes. Google’s top answer for a single short block was 700-750lbs. “A significant weight, reflecting the engine’s robust design and construction.” Seemed a bit much. Thanks for the info, fellas.

I just went through this dilemma with a palleted transmission and transfer case. I bought a $43 digital crane scale online and measured it myself. Of course you have to have a way to lift them but otherwise all you need is 2 or 3 straps. Frankly I couldn't believe that you could get a one ton capacity scale that cheaply. I've only used it once but it worked just fine.

From Toyota in there packaging it’s around 340lbs for a new short block. A block it’s self is just under 320lbs

Why not go with the answer in post #3?
 
Ditto: he was a good guy.

Last activity on MUD for DeathValleyPaul was September 2024.

First time I heard the news also.
 
What?? Damn that’s sad. He really helped me out a few years ago when I was rebuilding my engine. He sourced a 1FZ head, had it machined, and sent it to me. He was a real one.
I had no idea either. Darn. He was a good dude.
 
Paul was gem of a guy. I was fortunate to live near him and he really helped me out over the years and even wheeled with him quite a bit.

Yeah, he was easy to deal with when I bought a valve cover from him a couple years ago.
