Randy,

The B engine, complete, weighs 398 pounds. That's with intake, exhaust, 
starter, alternator, etc - complete, ready to run. That figure is an actual 
weight, using an industrial scale after the engine was removed from my car. I 
have a photo of it on the scales, if you would like to see it. The 
transmission adds another 70 pounds.
