Recently weighed a Turbo T-Bird 2.3 litre 4.  380 lbs, dry, incl turbo, 
VAF, all accessories needed to run, no A/C, no P/S, no motor mounts, 
flywheel but no clutch.

I believe that a similar equip 3.8 V6 is about 50 lb lighter, don't have
accurate weight on the iron Ford V8.  The 215 BOP/Rover  aluminum V8 
engine comes in at 345 lbs w/2bbl Rochester and Olds iron exhaust 
manifolds.
