Tom Giddings,
            I do not have a L360 but you can calculate what the weight of my
L320 would have been if I had installed a O-360 engine.  The empty weight of
my L320 is 1070 pounds (with oil but no gas).  The published weight of my
O-320-D1F engine (with accessories) is 285 pounds.  If you take the
difference between the weight of your engine and 285 and add it to 1070 you
will have what the weight of my engine would have been if I had elected to
make it a L360.  Your airplane (1318) does sound on the heavy side to me.

I have been told that a paint job adds about 15 pounds to the airplane but I
didn't weigh mine before paint so I cannot confirm that.

Happy Building
