There's a few educated guesses around, but I don't know if anybody knows for sure. I tried to find out before I pulled my engine, but I couldn't find a solid answer. I would say 600-700 lbs, but take that with a grain of salt.

Now, is that figure longblock alone, or does that include accessories?

This is kinda funny. Mine shipped with everything was listed at 585lbs. The only thing missing was the power steering pump. I don't think that weighed 83lbs. But, I would say that I thought that weight was low. I always read the TT motor was around 700lbs.
