Default engine weight?

around how much does an average b series honda engine weigh? i wasnted to know because when i buy it from h motors im gunna need to lift the pallet onto a pickup truck to take it to get installed but i dont have an engine hoist.
is it light enough for 4 guys to pick it up from 4 corners of the pallet?

thanks

Just lift it and put it in the back of the truck yourself. Not sure how much they weight, but I can lift a 302 longblock into the back of a truck. A 4 cylinder can't be that much.

if i can snatch a d series out by myself i know it can't be that hard with a b series. it just depends on weather or not you have a weak back or not.
