Does anyone know the weight of the engine only for a Valk, We are going to tear one down and trying to establish the weight of the engine with the frame. Can 3 small guys lift it into a pickup?
Thanks

I think it's going to be hard to get an accurate weight of the engine with the frame. My GUESS would be about 400-450 lb. but it's just a guess. |

This discussion reminds me of my wife's birthday. She told me she wanted something sitting in the garage that would do 0 to 200 in under a minute. So, on her birthday she stepped on into our garage and there it was. A bath room scale. And that my friends is how the fight started.  |

Just so you know, the complete head weighs 23 pounds, so 46 pounds in just the heads.

From my notes in doing some comparisons twixt the Valk and GL1800: Per 1994 GL1500 Shop manual, the 94SE model had an engine weight of 278 lbs. Sorry, but I do not know what engine bolt-ons it includes, or not... And from a road test (that I have seemingly misplaced  ...) the GL1800 engine is 6 lbs lighter. |

My '97 to '03 manual says engine dry weight is 262 pounds. I have to assume that is without the carbs and other things that aren't integral to the engine itself. |

I put one in the trunk of the VW minus starter and alternator by myself. FYI , a dis-assembled Valk will fit in a VW Jetta.
