This engine has aluminum heads, water pump, and intake manifold. So my first guess for the engine w/o bellhousing is 520 lbs.

That is light especially for an engine with a deep skirt around the crank. I think steel heads only add about 25 to 30 lbs to these engines so with just an aluminum intake they aren't much heavier than a SB Chevy. |
