Default Engine Weight

How much does a DOHC ZC weigh. I just purchased a engine and have to go pick it up. The guy that removed the engine rented an engine hoist and has returned it so I will have to get the engine up into a pickup by myself. Any ideas on how to do this would be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

3 of us took my engine/tranny/axles on a pallet off of my co-worker's truck pretty easily. I'd say 3 people if its all bunched together, but it takes only 2 to lift an engine safely.

The motor can be done alone if you are very strong - and very dumb. It's easier to get a buddy to help than to nurse a thrown back. The other option is to bring a wrench & oil pan, drain it, and pop the head off. It should get a new timing belt and arp studs anyways
