How much does a complete Mercruiser 888( Ford 302) engine weight including Manifolds? My engine stand has a 750 lb capacity.

Total weight of the engine and drive was listed as 450kg, but that included a TR drive, and those are heavy!
Based on the present 6.2L engine (which weighs 391kg) your engine will be slightly less than that, so your stand isn't up to the job. Find a stand that will take 500kg.
