Off the top of my head, I don't know, but I can tell you that I rebuilt a B
motor in my father's basement. He and I carried the long block* up the
stairs to the driveway suspended on a 2X4 by a chain around the rocker
shaft.
I wold peg that entire assembly at no more than 300 lbs. tops. Probably
less.
*Complete engine ready to run except: no oil, no valve cover and no
manifolds.
