No way it's that heavy. I would guess about 120lbs.

My complete 2.4 with clutch, sans manifolds, on a palette was 309lbs. And the 2.4 is 45lbs heavier than a 2.0


Just think of it as half of an Eclipse with more power emoji

hehe, yeah my guess was a tad bit high emoji But it sure did feel heavy as all hell when you try and drop the block out of the car from underneath.. Its gotta weigh in at at least 120-130 pounds i would think..I guess its really not that bad..

You can lift the block by yourself. If the crank/bedplate/pistons are still on it, you'll need 2 people. If the Head is still attached, you'll need a hoist.

Hell, my 115lb girlfriend moved my block while she was cleaning the garage. emoji
