component weight?

It took me and two other sturdy guys to lift my TDI engine and flywheel on a pallet.  It did not have any accessories or injection pump either, although it did have the intake manifold, EGR and exhaust manifold/turbo assembly.  It was not what I would call, "easy".  I would suggest disconnecting the tranny from the engine and loading them separately.  The tranny can easily be managed by one person so long as that person does not have back problems, and that would be 70+ lbs less on the engine assembly for everyone to lift.  I'd assume the TDI weighs a tad more than your run of the mill 8v or 16v but probably not by a whole lot.

Dont hurt yourself though.  Lift with the legs, not the back.  ;)

So - just how heavy are an assembled engine and transmission?  I've got
 ym
eye on a set, they're attached,and strapped to a skid (pallet?) and
presumably the tranny has fluid in it,
I'm wondering how to get it off the garage floor and into a truck - can
 2 or
3 people lift it?

Thanks - GP
