just wondering what a 1275 engine and gearbox weigh approx

Thanks Carl

Depends on fluids, and ancillaries, but think in the 150 kg area.

Cheers mate

Around there , a complete front subframe and engine is a smidge over 200kgs so work backwards from there depending on what you take off (subframe , suspension and brakes around 45 kg , radiator and coolant , anciliaries etc .....) .

If you're trying to work out how strong something will be to lift the engine out remember to at least triple (preferably quadruple) the expected weight to allow for safety , a safe working load as assigned to a lifter for example is around 4 X the weight it can handle without breaking but exceed the weight safe weight limit at your own peril .
