hi all ,what would a complete mini power unit weigh with alt, starter, manifold ,no fluids carby or rad from a 998 clubman 99h type weight in kilos ? :?

I have sent many engines via courier and have only put 130 - 140kg, and its never bounced on me..

However I think the complete unit is roughly about 100- 120kg

I could be wrong, but others will be sure to clarify

Gumby-1978 Minivan, British Racing Green - 1310, high lift, mild cam, enlarged porting and chamber shape with big valve head, supercharged build in ever slow progress!

Some weight as much as 150-160 kgs, though that's for an auto I think.

If you work to that you should definitely be safe.

They`re 140-150kgs in total with ancillarys

No offence intended here but--> anyone writing a book about minis 30 years ago may not have experienced such worn or stuffed-with components as we are finding these days.

You should put your heart & soul into everything you do.

Manual says 333lb...and I know what that feels like when its gently resting on one hand

Without oil and bolting the starter on as well, radiator and alternator = 154kg.
