Engine weights were typically a part of the specifications which you can look up on this site.

Engine weights with clutch and transmission from the 1941 specifications.

110 (245): 673 lbs, 734 with overdrive
120 (282): 781 lbs, 839 with overdrive
Super8 (356): 986 lbs, 1036 with overdrive

PS - Here's some more data from the 1954 specifications, with clutch and transmission.

288: 860 lbs, 890 with OD, 995 with Ultramatic
327: 885 lbs, 920 with OD, 1020 with Ultramatic
359: 876 lbs, 911 with OD, 1011 with Ultramatic

(Lighter weight of 359 over 327 due in part to aluminum cylinder head).

Interesting, thanks Dave. So the 6 is nearly 110 lbs lighter than a small 8. Are there stats anywhere that show the LOA of the various engines? Couldn't find those.
