Fairly accurate Weights of motors, as installed per factory
The Lima is 418 Lbs. The turbo version was 450 lbs.
Here is the site for that and more motors, if you are looking like me, for comparable swaps: Engine Weights II

The Engine Weights II shows 418 for the 2.3, but 305 for the 2.8 V6. Seems strange.
