John,
>From previous posts, my understanding the 13b can come in from 315 lbs
to approx 350 lbs depending upon the variables, as Paul mentioned and
as you could possibily guess. I'd probably use the higher number to be on
the safe side.
As for the Lyc 360 - wouldn't have any idea, let us know what you come up
with.

Parallel valve 0-360s weigh 270 to 275, without starter and alternator.  The
parallel valve engines are 180 hp engines.  IO-360 angle heads weigh 293 to
299 w/o starter and alternator.  The heavier weight usually is due to an
aerobatic crankshaft.  An updraft TIO-360 weighs 343 to 348.  Those figures
from a 1998 Lyc spec sheet.
    A Lyc engineer I talked to about turbo normalizing matters giggled when
I quoted these weights to him.  He thought the angle head weighed at least
325 "in usable form."
    Typical installed weight of an IO-360 angle head of 200 hp, with
electrical goodies, will top 350 pounds easily.
    There is an FAA website--I cannot find the url off hand--with the type
certificates for all engines.Tom Mayer--
