Weight of LS1

I was wondering how much does an ls1 and 6 speed transmission weigh.
Also if anyone knows, how much does a 13b-rew with the manual transmission weigh?

LS6 crate motor is 382 no clutch, 420 with. T56 is 125. 5#s under the UPS limit

Thats about 5 pounds heavy because of the crate.

GM claims the fully dressed LS1 is 497lbs.

Havent seen any weight figures for the 13B, but the 20b is supposedly over 700lbs.

I do remember the ford 5.0 was supposed to be 50 lbs heavier then the n/a 13b in the fc rx7. And im sure the twin turbo setup adds quite a bit of weight and the ls1 should weight less than a 5.0. If your looking at weight balance i believe it's pretty close to 50/50 w/ an ls1 swap (i think it said something about that on the hinson website). Atleast thats what i remember...but it's been a while since i looked into the whole v8 rx-7 thing.
