Engine weight varies from vehicle to vehile depending on the type of engine, the cylinder, and the manufacture. The average weight is somewhere between 300-600 pounds. Some engine weights are quite heavy; Cacial V16-1,300 lbs, Pierce-Arrow V-12-1,130 lbs, Chrysler 331 Hemi-745 lbs. Engine weights also depends on the year of the car and if any enhancements were made to the engine. The 1959 Cadillac V8 390 weighs 720 lbs and the 1959 (Nail Head) Buick 401 weighs 685 lbs. Some of the fastest engines are quite light in comparison to others. The Ferrari 312T, V12 3.0L racing engine, weighs 397 lbs. Today’s cars are being made with lighter engine loads, hoping to have some impact on the environment and the longevity of the car. In the end, engines weights will always differ as much as the manufactures of today’s and yesterdays models do.

This is a really unrealistic average because they vary so greatly but 300 pounds would be average. Lows around 100 highs around 700
