I just purchased a 951 short block form Josh B, it is a complete motor minus the head. Comes with oil filter console, both motor uprights, oil pan, AOS, balance shaft front housings, water pump, some of the front pulleys; pretty much everything except the flywheel, head, and crank pulley. It will all be packed inside a wooden crate and then strapped to a pallet. I need to know the ~weight so I can arrange freight pickup. Is 200 lbs accurate? I know a standard pallet is ~45 lbs by its self and a a bare block/crank/pistons/rods/balance shafts is ~145 lbs. Add in the weight of the crate, the oil pan, the oil filter console, the AOS, the motor uprights, and other stuff and maybe 250 lbs is a better estimate?

 

I got a complete shortblock including oil pan on a standard pallet at 300lbs.
