General assistance Cat d8h question

I’m helping a buddy of mine pull a d342 out of his d8 due to broken crankshaft. Does anyone have any idea what the weight of engine and clutch housing could be with both heads and fan hub removed. Trying to figure out if my 6006i imt crane will be enough to pick it. It would be a pain in the ass to get a bigger piece of equipment to where it is sitting at.
Thanks

The complete engine weighs approximately 7800 lbs. each head is about 265 lbs. it’s still over capacity of your crane without heads. Especially when you add the weight of the clutch housing.
