I assume you mean short block, as in a block with pistons and the flywheel, no head. But:

Bare block = 100 pounds
Short block = 200 pounds with flywheel
Long block = 270 pounds without fluids
Transmission = 80 pounds

All rough estimates, they might include or exclude some things, I forget, it has been since around 2006 since I weighed anything.
