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--

Well Tom!
No savings or penalty in the weight, sure as hell a lot of savings in $
using the 13b,
however can't remember if the PSRU weight is included, don't think it is!
