Well it varies with what accessories, etc. you have on the engine, but my W Series NA motor with alternator, power steering, etc. weighed just under 300 lbs.

Holy shit! are you serious? that seems way low for some reason. thought the block alone weighed somthing like 100-150 supposedly?

then you got the block=100 roughly
crank = 30-40
manifolds+crossover=20-30?
flyweel 20
rods and pistons=20?
intake mani and plenum=10?
balancer,alternator,power s. pump, ac comp and bracket, water pump, valve covers and oil pan, and TB=65-85?

thats roughly 375 on the low side.

*shrugs*

I've got my shipping receipt from when my motor arrived from Conway freight. Who knows, their scales may have been a bit off. Reguardless, someone needs to weigh a VG30 for reference.

I have an 87 engine hanging on a stand back home. Maybe i'll find a way to weight it.

The VG30E is under 300lbs without acessories… the ET is a little more with the turbocharger. The heads are actually around 32lbs each assembled (based on shipping weight).
