Just looked up some weights (no idea how consistent they are). The y-block engines are listed as 610lbs.

SBF (260-302) 460lbs
FE (332-428) 625lbs
385 (429-460) 720lbs

And per Rumbleseat, "1934 through 1948 V-B 85/90/100 hp flathead engines weigh 525 lbs (with cast iron heads)" No idea if the 8ba is heaver.
