Can someone give me an idea of the weight of a 202 long motor please? Could two adults put it in the back of a ute?

About 170kg.
And yes, two people can put one into the back of a ute, done it heaps of times. unless your talking some massively lifted forby thing.

Thanks Bomber, so that is 170kg without alternator, carbies, distributor, etc, etc? If I get it, it would need to be put in the back of a Toyota Landcruiser, so it is a reasonable height to have to lift!

Really only 170kgs ? I can just lift a bare 202 block by myself to load in to a trailer or ute...., but a long motor must be a struggle for 2 blokes ?

I've lifted them complete with one other bloke a few times. If you both are reasonably strong you should be able to get it in a Landcruiser no worries.

Honestly ive never weighed one, just going by what i was told a while ago.
If anything there probably a little lighter.
Adam, your a weak Cunning Stunt.
If your going to be lifting that high, heres a tip from todd.
Take two longish, say 2mt, lenghs of either 4x2 or steel pipe or something along those lines, and a couple of good ratchet straps.
Strap your two lenghs of whatever to the engine with the straps, and lift it like a stretcher, one man on each end.
Easy peasy, should get it into the cruiser.....But yeah, theres a reason i like 2wd utes 
Cheers.

Fully loaded with accessories they weigh close to Bombers prediction around 160--170 kgs, Funny story I went to pick N payless wreckers here in Sydney years ago when the $10 rule was in place... $10 for anything you could carry out the gate, This giant dude & his offsider had just finished tearing out a 350 chev from a statesman, "Looking at this guy who blocked out the sun for everybody else around him more than likely tore it out with his teeth", He then leans over thu forker & blow me with an easy swing has the complete motor minus heads & manifold that his offsider was carrying sitting on his right shoulder, That right there is a real man, I would have been flat out carrying 2 iron v8 heads plus tools & the manifold... End of the day the Ole Timer at gate just smiled and hit em up for a measly $20......

Just drag it up a plank onto the back of the ute, no need to exert too much energy

Exactly how we lifted one a few months ago, used the tailshaft (scrap) from the car the motor came out of. Ruined the rocker cover was the only problem. LOL. 4WD utes are bloody useless for things like that (ie being a ute instead of just a work bench haha), bloke turned up to buy a motorbike off me in one once, had no ramp with him. Serious headaches ensued.

I shipped a 192 a few years ago, less manifolds etc, but with flywheel, on a small pallet, was 136kg.
Waaaay back in my young and stupid days I screwed a six together in the spare room. Fresh short block , no head but with the flywheel, carried it out to the car.

I've lifted a long 202 (inc. acc.) into the back of a ute with a mate a few times and to be honest I find it fairly bloody heavy. I spent $250 on a crane and have never looked back.
In a pinch once by myself I rachet strapped the engine to a $20 red supercrap trolley and used a couple long bits of timber to wheel it up into the van I had at the time. worked well.
Oh, and about 160kg from memory.
