Think ive actually found a 4pot heavier than a pinto!
Picked up a rover t16 engine for my maestro yesterday.it got loaded onto the bedford rascal with an engine crane, after a journey home bouncing around
on the bumpstops had to man handle it off at my end. Bugger me! Theres now 3 of us waiting for hernia ops with bad backs too! 2 of us can quite easily
lift my sr20det onto the rascal.
Just how heavy are they?!

IIRC they share a block with a diesel, thus the "sturdiness".

It is an MGB 5 bearing engine with a dohc head ,the origins go back to the 1947 Austin A40 Devon 1.2litre 40bhp engine which evolved into the 1500
BMC B series, which gained weight with various upgrades, then evolved into the O series, M series and eventually T series.

Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

Can't find any reliable info online but most groups seem to suggest it is about 110kg? (Though one did guess 200). The 3SGTE is a cast iron 4
pot which weighs in around 175 with manifolds and turbo!

That would be quite light for a cast iron 4-pot.
I weighed my old Crossflow (one of the lightest iron block engines) at 109 kilos with flywheel, clutch, inlet manifold and twin Webers. A Zetec is
about 115 kilos and the Pinto is about 135 kilos, from memory.
