Probably in the 700 lb range. There is a publication out there that gives
the approx. weights of American Engines, but I dont remember what it is
right now. Keep in mind that there are lots of variables also. With or
without exhaust manifolds, cast iron or aluminum intake, with or without
carb, pulleys, etc. Also, you will be putting a lot of extra strain on a
stand while working on an engine. Torqueing head bolts, twisting cranks
while dismantleing, etc. I have a homemade one that is much heavier than a
store bought one, and a fully dressed 440 still makes me nervous. I vote for
the 1000 lb.model!

  OK, I appreciate everybodies concern about my safety and all and the
  motor stand tipping over  and pinching my weeny, but I still want to
  know what they weigh?
  I know the bare block is around 225-235 pounds.
   I found a stand  rated at 750 pounds with four wheels. Havent got it
   yet, waiting for u guys to give the thumbs up or down. What do u think
   of that?
   I just bought a monstrous 2 ton folding cherry picker today  with a
   load leveler too.
