Im going to be shipping my RB20 motorset with just about everything(Except X-member)and Im wondering how much it weighs to get a estimated quote from a Freight company. Ive heard 500-600 but Im trying to get as close as possible number. Thanks.

I had my full motor set shipped from FL to SC for $144. I do not have a slip for the weight unfortunately. My clip weighed 1400lbs and was ~500 to ship... but that probably doesn't help to much.

People can say what they want about Sport Compact Car Magazine, but here you go

September 2003" RB25DET weighs about 720 pounds."

figure the RB20 transmission is probably a little bit lighter, but still that should be about right.

Hope that helps.

Maybe this will help some, at least it is what they charged me for.

RB25det engine on a pallate : 700 lbsTranny on a pallate : 210 lbs

That is what it says on the freight billing sheet from a company called G.I. Trucking ( gi-trucking.com ). I know they ship in Cali but I think they ship interstate also.

It cost me about $500 to get my clip shipped from Venus to St Louis MO. They said the clip was 1500 pounds. Paid an extra $100 for a lift gate and the driver wouldnt even put it on the gate. I had to put it on the gate and get it off the truck for him.
