Why yes, I do know how much an engine weighs.;)
Oh, so you want to know, too.
According to an early 911/2000 Brochure in my collection,
Engine weight: approx 405 lbs complete without oil
Transmission weight: approx 110 lbs complete WITH oil
This is for the 1965 model year which means sand-cast aluminum cases and Solex carbs. The weight might have changed slightly with the changes to Webers and then to MFI. I think the eventual switch to magnesium cases saved something on the order of 20 to 40 lbs.
