How much does the engine weigh?

As the title suggests
I can't find anywhere the weight of the engine.
As i'm gonna be pulling it i need a crane and stand that can cope with the great big lump that it is.

Engine weight

The engine, complete with most of the ancillaries weighs about 200KG. However, you'll need a crane with a high lift and long reach to clear the front bumper and bonnet slam panel. A 2 tonne folding crane ought to be sufficient, but you may need to take the wheels off the car to get the front a bit lower.

I used a 2-tonne with no trouble, no need to remove wheels.

Thanks guys
I'd already thought about the height thing and was intending to remove the wheels to drop the front as low as possible but if a 2 ton does it without (thanks duke) then happy days.
Thanks Duncan that means the cheaper engine stand is viable.
Now all i gotta do is pray for no rain, i'll try not to sing in the shower!
