Question What's the weight of the engine?

For those that have pulled engines and manual trans out of their Fb's; does anyone know the combined weight of these two items???

The wieght of my Jspec 13BT with everthing on it including power steering, alternator, etc. It wieghed 260 lbs. Note this had a few extras that weigh quite a bit, like the turbo, intercooler, some piping, and a bunch of things that are absent on the earlier motors. I'd expect the bare block to be in around 160-175 lbs, the tranny about 60-70 lbs.
