1986 Comp Prep SVO Mustang(1 of 83) Four cylinder turbo! (Think first Fox body "R" model!)
1995 F-150 Extra Cab and it was free!
1991 Festiva L, Surf Blue with A/C
1995 Jeep Cherokee 2wd 5 speed 4.0 and it was free!
1993 Aqua Festiva and it was cheap!
1994 Brake Swap and it was cheap!
1969 Ford F100 Big Block Ranger and it was free! (coming 2/12) -
The stock transmission and engine together only weight like 150 lbs, so my best guess is about 1650 lbs -
150.. thats it.. lol88' Ford Festiva

Really?Originally posted by Gforcefd
So the engine and tranny weight the same as 3 large bags of dog food!
At 150 lbs you wouldn't need a engine hoist!
Sounds like another you can "pass emissions but your cat. could still be clogging up" with no explanation as to how!
Try 300 to 350 lbs for engine/tranny combination.
The tranny it self is probably 60 -75 lbs maybe more.
Anyone have a better estimate than that?
I thought someone weighed the engine at one time!'93 Blue 5spd 230K(down for clutch and overall maintanence)

The trans is about 65 lbs. I'm guessing the engine at 175 - 210.youtube.com/neanderpaul 88 festiva LX w/BP G25 MR 5 speed waiting for wiring- 93 Festiva GL auto w/ air, waiting for B6t/G4A-HL - 98 Nissan Quest - 02 Mazda protege 5 wife's DDComment

I could be talked into a combined weight of 300 lbs meaning with the 63 hp we get out of the unaltered B3.
We get a little less than 5 lbs per HP which seems reasonable!'93 Blue 5spd 230K(down for clutch and overall maintanence)

you can pick up the engine and the trans while they are still bolted together? I will have to have you come over when I pull the engine out of the donor car... I have a gravel driveway and a hoist just won't roll around. But I could have you carry it to where I need it...Originally posted by Gforcefd

I had a heck of a time wrestling an engine/tranny down the ramps off my utility trailer by myself. I'm not thinking it's real light... I certainly couldn't pick up the motor!!1986 Comp Prep SVO Mustang(1 of 83) Four cylinder turbo! (Think first Fox body "R" model!)

I said I could pick it up, I didn't say I could walk around with it! There is a big difference there. I could be talked into 300 lbs but no more.Comment

I can pick up the engine by itself, barely. Gforcefd, I think your 250 guess is pretty accurate.youtube.com/neanderpaul 88 festiva LX w/BP G25 MR 5 speed waiting for wiring- 93 Festiva GL auto w/ air, waiting for B6t/G4A-HL - 98 Nissan Quest - 02 Mazda protege 5 wife's DDComment

I believe I remember someone who took apart their Festiva and put it in the back of their truck said they got it down to 850 lbs... That was with everything stripped (windows, all interior pieces, bumpers and supports, hood, fenders, etc...) - I believe they even took the brakes off... But put that stuff back in and you'd probably still be around 1000 lbs all together?
Wouldn't be very fun to drive like that thought.Simon - pimptiva.comComment

Engine weighs about 240lbs, manual trans weighs 45 lbs.

240 and 45 sounds best(ish)
the engine can be lifted off the ground or slung into a pickup bed manually, and the trans can definitly be tossed over an average chain link fence
But what difference does it make? And do none of us own a scale?
the title on my 90 festiva reads 1640 empty, my 92 reads 1789 empty - were there come up with the difference is a mysteryComment
