Yes it is a heavy bastard. I used to pick up and carry iron Honda D-series by myself and I'm not a big weightlifter guy. I did manage to use some 2x4s to rock my KA off a pallet and onto a dolly so I could roll it into the back of my garage but my back yelled at me for that stunt for a week.

I was able to lug my bare block to the machine shop in the back of my CUV but I have no idea what I'm going to do when it's built with its crank and piston/rods.
