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.
