Charlie, my FWF installation weighed in a 340 lbs that included everything including the motor mount (did not include prop).  Included Engine, Gear box, starter, two radiators, oil cooler, ducting, exhaust header (no muffler) and intake manifold.  It also include a bunch of heavy -16 stainless steel braid radiator hoses and smaller oil and fuel lines (all SS braid) and their heavy fittings.  It also include my small header tank and oil/air separator (since removed).

Anyone else weigh their installation? I'd like to know how this compares.

This is dry weight, including all the mount adapter hardware that isn't
attached to the firewall, Richard's OMP adapter & OMP, intake manifold
(not including the sheet aluminum cover for the plenum), both heat
exchangers/diffusers, almost all the engine plumbing, and the 'core' of
the stock exhaust manifold (fairly heavy). It does not include a muffler
(6 lbs for the Aeroturbine AT2525) or the associated stainless tubing. I
even threw on a couple of plastic reservoirs to account for coolant &
2stroke oil tanks. To be realistic, I'll probably need to add another
10-15 lbs, minimum.
