Hello people, how much does a 325 engine & gearbox weigh? I need to know as i'm arranging a pick up via a courier but don't have a scooby doo how much it weighs.

Any help will be much appreciated...

ERM.. A box would be about 30kgs, and an engine.. Id hate to think. I have trouble moving them on the floor, let alone trying to weigh one. Ask the couriers if they have tried posting engines. They should be more than helpful.

Think your engine is around 120kg although that is a rough figure.

I know it was heavy for two of us to carry it
