[Healeys] Engine weight & gearbox weight

Hi,

I am contemplating the removal of my 3000's engine. Probably with gearbox
attached.

Once it's out (hoho), I'll want to put it on an engine stand. Rotating type.

I am not contemplating putting the engine onto any sort of stand before
removing the gearbox.

How much does the engine weigh?

How much does the gear box weigh?

I expect that engine stands come "rated" at/up to a certain max weight.
Isn't a 3000's engine fairly long for its weight? Doesn't this induce a
measure of extra leverage onto the load bearing mount on the stand? Should
one thus go for a higher rating and, if so, what does the collective wisdom
suggest?

I continue to seek for the weights in my manuals but without any luck.

Thank you,

Simon
