Engine and gearbox weight!

[laxeian]

Hi,
Does anyone have any info on how much a 1108 engine and gearbox weigh ( with all ancillaries) so I can get a shipping quote?
( does not need to be spot on but rough weight as there will be few other parts coming with if I can find a company that will ship..)

Sensibly less than 100kg. Maybe 80.
That's my guess.

Found company that gave price for item as is without needing to give weight, think it may be a bit more than 100kg though, kerb weight is @720kg, bias from info I could find is around 65 front 35 rear, 30% of 720 puts it over 100kg.
From info I could garner online found myself on a Lotus forum of all places, reading about engine and gearbox removal series 3 Esprits, which use a renault gearbox, although different model box came in at 52kg ( assuming case used , being a Lotus, would be an all alloy later one not early cast iron)

Haynes workshop manual gives engine weight as 81 kg, and this is for the Ventoux engine without ancillaries. But again this is The Great Book of Lies
