I'm picking up a 1275 engine and box this weekend and I've been asked how much it will weigh, I'm guessing about 100 kilos, but has anyone got an exact figure? I did a search and couldn't find an answer and I looke din the Haynes manual too.

Thanks.

you youngsters!!!!
cwt is the abbreviation for one hundredweight which is 112 lbs(pounds) which is 8 stone, which is a shade under 51 kgs
(Unless it's an American hundred weight which IS 100lbs) bored yet???

A mini engine and gearbox is about 330lbs according to my (very old) Haynes book so about 150 of those funky modern kg things
