Well, are you talking the entire motor...or just the short block? My short block is sitting on my garage floor, and I have a tough time picking it up by myself. I'd guess around 250 lbs, maybe a little less. The entire assembly and turbos? ******* heavy as hell.

I can pack around a 13B-REW "block" myself, although not exactly easily. The main problem isn't the weight, it's the pointy and sharp parts. 
I estimate that the "block" is probably in the 200-225 lb. range. With flywheel, all accessories, turbo and exhaust manifolds, lower and upper intake and throttle body, I'd estimate that the 13B-REW weighs in the range 375+ lbs. fairly easily. Let's put it this way. If you and a pal are going to pack one around, you'd better find another pal or an engine hoist or some means to drag it across the floor. They're not that light.
By comparison, the shipping weight of my 20B on its pallet, with the turbo and exhaust manifolds, intake, throttle body and full accessories was 561 lbs. I would guess that the pallet weighed 20-25 lbs. tops.
The FD 5 speed transmission weighs about 112 lbs. dry.
