How much do these engines weigh? 460, 5.0, 3.8SC

[5.0]

.


I've googled with varied opinions returned in the results, so if you happen to know how much each of these weigh let me know...

I'm mainly trying to find out how much difference in weight there is between the 460 and 3.8 SC motor to see if the 460 is worth the extra weight. I'm looking for a nice hp to weight ratio in my Ranger.

I'm needing a complete weight with all accesories, including the piping and intercooler for the SC motor.

460 - early 70's, iron heads, aluminum intake, no A/C
5.0 Explorer - stock with A/C
3.8 SC motor - with blower, all accessories, piping, and intercooler

Fully dressed, the 460 is gonna run you 650-675#'s...couldn't tell you about the 3.8 though.

Just did some searching...and the numbers I'm coming up with is that a 302 weighs between 475 and 550 depending on year and specs and a 3.8sc weighs in at 500lbs. General consensus seemed to say the standard was right at 500lbs for both and negligible weight difference.
