Fully assembled as it sits in the engine bay? Probably about 700 I would guess.

If he weighed it, he IS dead on!

The bare block was enough for me to get a hernia carrying it into the machine shop.

they dont include the trans, a manual flywheel is way heavier then a flexplate. the tranny itself is way lighter then an auto.
