Not for sure, but I'd guess around 600 pounds?

It has been discussed here a few times with recommendations if you are using an engine stand which types work best. With their weight and length these engines can tip fairly easy on some stand designs.

And spinning it on the stand (to gain access to the bottom end, for example) should be a 2-man job as these tall engines can be hard for one guy to handle.
