[Healeys] Engine weight & gearbox weight

[Patrick & Caroline Quinn]

G'day

In other words they are bloody heavy.

When I put the block on the engine stand I connected it from the rear. Once
it was all tightened up it rotated by itself so that the top pointed towards
the ground - mistake. Next time (hope there won't be one) I will attached it
by the engine mount holes on the exhaust side.

I am contemplating the removal of my 3000's engine. Probably with gearbox
attached.
Once it's out (hoho), I'll want to put it on an engine stand. Rotating type.
...... How much does the engine weigh?   How much does the gear box weigh?
