Default Re: Engine weight

"The Ford Model A" by George DeAngelis, et al., lists 475 lbs including clutch and transmission (Section 2, page 18 of 2nd Edition). "How to Restore Your Model A" Volume 7 (Shipping Data on page 125) lists the following net weights:

456 lbs for A-6000 engine
517 lbs for AA-6000 engine
350 lbs for A-6005 engine.

Insofar as I (Skip) could determine, none of the above specify whether this is the dry or wet weight, but I suspect it's dry.

Also, here are some weights extracted from various FordBarn posts (principally by Tom Wesenberg if I recall correctly):

473 lbs – engine, complete (w/clutch & transmission)
160 lbs – engine, short block (w/head studs & crank pulley)
25 lbs – cylinder head
19 lbs – flywheel housing
12 lbs – Pressure plate
63 lbs - flywheel
3 lbs – clutch disc
10 lbs – engine pan
3 lbs – dipper tray
3 lbs – valve cover
2 lbs – timing gear side cover
4 lbs – timing gear front cover
28 lbs - crankshaft
6-1/2 lbs – camshaft (w/nut)
1-1/2 lbs – piston (w/wristpin & rings)

Any corrections/additions would be appreciated.
