I'd guess at 100kg perhaps? They are hard to lift!

From Westfield World.

Quote:
Engine (cc): - 1996cc
Basic Power: - 105 bhp
Weight: - 135kgs
Height: - 69cms
Length: - 56cms
Block: - Cast Iron
Head: - Cast Iron
Valves: - 8 Valves, Single Cam
2nd Hand: - £100 (approx)
Ease of fit: - Easy to fit but this is a tall engine

Ease to tune: - Easy as they are well established and also easy to work on for the DIY'er

Upgrades: - 150bhp= Kent FR32 cam, gas flowed head, twin 45's. 160bhp= as before plus Kent FR33 cam

Availability: - Relatively easy to find as plenty of Sierra's still about. Approx £950.00 to rebuild

Gearbox fit: - Standard Type 9 from Donor car

Overall: - Very cheap option with plenty of parts available, very robust engine. Exhausts on right which limits swapping engine at later date. Slightly on the heavy side.
Type 9 is 31-33kg

Cheers
Stot

Thanks for the replys great information will be really helpful,a guy over the road has an engine I think is suitable that he does not want, I thought we could man handle it but will use some form of lifting aid now.

Thanks again

DaveyB

tip it over to slide a sheet of ply under it and drag it across if its only over the road. You would be amazed the weight a couple of guys can drag on a piece of ply.

A wheelbarrow works too. That's how I have shifted mine - engine and gearbox together although it's easier if you split them. Not difficult to get them apart. Might not do wonders for the wheelbarrow though...

Great engines, got one in the Westfield on twin DCOE's just about bomb proof except for the odd oilway problem. They are affectionately known as boat anchors for a reason tho
