For the later (post SD1 engines the figure is about 35-40 LBS low.
For Buick engines and early Rovers the 318 is complete except for cast
iron exhausts. For the record, when I got my Buick 215 engine, less
flywheel and with cast iron exhaust manifolds, the little booger tipped
the scales at 328 lbs. It was unloaded from the back of a pickup truck by
the seller and I using our bare hands. And no, we didn't drop it,nor or
we weight lifters.
Weight was taken on a 500 lb capacity grain scale.
