According to the MAFCA "The Restorer" magazine (March-April 2007, page 5) the weight of the Model A engine with fan, water pump, generator, carburetor, distributor, spark plugs and coolant inlet/outlets is 350 lbs. With the clutch & transmission it comes to 465 lbs. Whether this is wet or dry was not stated.

Now that I posted that, I recalled that the question has come up before, so here is my 6/6/12 post from the"Engine Removal" thread:

"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 could determine, none of the above specify whether this is the dry or wet weight, but I suspect it's dry."

Oh well, as Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds…
