dry weight of a stripped S4 block?
 

Trying to figure out a shipping quote for someone. I have a stripped NA S4 block...just rotors/housings/end plates, front cover, and oil pan. Any ideas? It'll be cleaned very thoroughly prior to shipping, so it'll be about as light as it gets.

I think it is in the 300-400 pound range for a 13B. Not positive but i'd take that as a vague weight.

Actually, I'd guess closer to 230-250...Considering I can lift one myself, and I can't see me lifting 300 LBs... :D

well I once lifted 250 pounds myself but then again I weigh in at 125lbs or so so i'd say thats damn good. :D I'd say a normal "fit" guy could do 300. Maybe not 400 though.

I have one sitting in my garage right now. Just as you described. 200 would be my guess.

191 lbs for a bare block S4 N/A.

while on the topic of weight, does anybody know the weight of a stock S5 NA hood?

~50lbs for a steel one and ~30 for aluminum.

thank you

too fucking heavy for the damn long blockwith tranny....took 3 of us to get it out of the van and then they let go and now I have permanent scars from where the motor mount rested on my inner part of the elbow as I struggled to keep it from falling and getting fucked up.......I held it up tho.....

3 guys to lift under 400 lbs and struggling with it?

tranny is ~80 lbs, longblock ~250... do the math.

the tranny weighs in at 112 lbs...i checked.

Longblock 250lbs? Don't know about an NA but definitely not for a TII engine.

Close weight estimates...I ship and build engines on a daily basis, so I know.
