Flathead Engine Weight

[40fordpu]

Anyone know the weight of a flathead engine. Year specific not important. Range of weight is understood. Thanks

I think a complete engine with cast iron heads and intake is around 535#.

That sounds a little heavy. I would say maybe 400 pounds.

Lanny's numbers appear correct. Here's a link that has engine weights and dimensions of all kinds:
