1965 911 engine weight?

[demo]

I am shipping a early 911 engine, complete. I have no way of weighing it, and didn't find anything with Goggle. Can anyone give me an approx. weight?
I have some long hoods for sale also.

Thanks,

I believe 450lbs. is real close.

mine in parts on the scale this week if you can wait that long..

sure, I will crate it tomorrow, after I weigh the crate. I can't ship until I know the weight.

Thanks

I can't get the long block onto the scale until next week. My helper bailed out on my today, sorry to have delayed you at all.

Better to error on the heavy side if someone else is paying the shipping, on the light side if you are paying it.. I sent a 3.0 sc engine to the Bay area about 10 years ago in trade for my 2.0. I remember putting down 300 as the weight, not sure if it was too accurate, but I don't remember being rebilled either.. Most freight companies will only run it across a scale if there is reasonable doubt about the marked weight.

Just a a point of comparison, I've been involved with shipping engines in CC, IRL and Nastycar for the last few years. They mark these V8 engines (admittedly full of light weight materials) between 400 and 450 pounds including the full cover pallet case they are shipped it. We always offered to give them a correct weight, but they didn't want it, as they didn't want other suppliers to know the true weights..

I think I will call it 400# and see what happens. The Euro buyer is paying for frieght. I want to be fair to him.
Thanks for your reply.
