now that would be an awsome setup. . .

the engine itself tips the scales at a touch over 1000. depending on the trans you get it can go anywhere from 1300-1900 pounds wet.

I have seen many pictures of 4bt's in jeeps. and depending on what your doing that may be a better option since it doesnt load the front axel as much.

Engine by itself full of fluids is about 1300lbs, add another 220 for an auto and 350 for a manual.
