    Approximately how much would this combination weigh?

    '66 CJ5 frame, L-134 engine, 3-speed trans., transfer case (Model 18?) and a Dana 44 rear axle. No front axle and no wheels, but with radiator and the engine, trans, etc. is hooked together and complete.

    Thanks!

    I would say around 1000 lbs, and thats just a guess. figure the frame is in the 150-200 lb range, L-134 in the 400lb range, trans/ transfer in the 150 lb range, d44 around 150 lbs and 50 lbs for the radiator.

    Take a look at this chart.
    You should be able to come close.

    Thanks. There's some useful info there!

    Considering the whole thing weighs 2,274, I'd guess everything I listed comes to somewhere in the 1,200-1,600 pound range?
