what is the avarage weight of an opposed twin?

does anyone know? I'm trying to diside if I should swap engines or not in my mtd. It was at 550 lb and I want to get down to 500 lb.

I had to ship one to OK a couple years ago. Without the intake/ carb and governor setup ( and oil of course) it was 98 lbs.

Hmm. I know my scrap scale goes by 10lbs, my briggs and tehcumsh said 90, with full wiring harness of the tractor too.

thanks for the replys. my ohv is 75 lb so about a 30 lb loss. that is what I think I'll do. thanks for the help guys.
