As the title says, I am looking for the weight of a 20B long block for shipping purposes. (turbos, Manifolds, AC compressor, PS pump everything is on this thing)

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Grant

 

600lbs

 

Ouch, good thing I did not guestimate. Haha was figuring 450ish. Thanks for the info.

 

You sure your not including the transmission in that figure?

 

Who would want the trans???

 

I ask because that's how some 20b's come (mine did). 600lbs just seems really high for the long block "ENGINE w/ALL ACCESSORIES NO TRANNY". I can actually lift the short block which feels around 250 to me. So adding another 350 in accessories just seems off.

 

Here you go....


On a pallet (depending on the pallet) the longblock will be 530lbs to 600lbs.. On this flimsy pallet 553lbs

 

^ Nice! Hmmm makes me wonder how heavy my NA block is with my custom intake. I also need to weigh the short block. It's amazing how heavy it gets with all those accessories.

 

I weighed some 20B parts individually. Accuracy of the scale is only to half a pound, so it could be off a couple pounds but close enough to get an idea.

front plate 23.5
thick intermediate with stat gear 38.0
regular intermediate 27.0
rear plate 25.0
rotor housing 13.0
e shaft 23.0
rear counterweight 5.0
weird Cosmo exhaust sleeves 1.5

comparing to a 2 rotor engine, T2 sleeves are 1.0
rear counterweight is 4.0

We also have the longer tension bolts and heavier intake manifold to consider. Also a 3 rotor header or exhaust manifold is going to be a little heavier. Just little things but you;re right they do all add up.

My 20B shortblock feels as heavy raising it on the engine crane as a fully dressed S3 13B with a cast iron waterpump and stock heavy flywheel. I considered going with an aluminum flywheel on the 20B instead of a light steel just to try to reduce the weight a little but the difference is only around 6 pounds for the RB units. Plus light steel will make it drive better and is stronger/less likely to flex with a strong pressure plate. I was getting some shuddering out of the aluminum after I swapped from a centerforce to an RB street strip. Same solid disc. Interesting.
