Suggest that you contact the Bovington Tank Museum
If anyone in the uK will have that information it will be them.

I suppose it depends on what is included in /with the engine. All ancillaries? Gearbox? Cooling system?

If the figures are correct somewhere between 920 and 1110 kgs.
Seems a bit light really, when a Cat D6K engine weighs in around 6 3/4 ton, and produces around half the power.
But then i guess tanks weren't built to clock up thousands of operational hours ?

Try the Tank museum in Saumur France,they have several in there.
It's a huge collection.

Is it just the engine, or the complete power pack ?

Just engine, back from workshops so no gearbox or cooling system. Prof if you ask great and mention that I have a sectioned engine from the technical school.

Mucklburgh just replied if I wanted to donate it they would have it. And that was that !
I just emailed them and said that I had been considering booking a coachload of veterans for a day visit, but owing to their attitude, I've now booked a day out at Duxford instead
