I'd guess the engine weighs around 200lbs by itself.

Tools, do you know how much power the primary chains on these bikes will hold up to? And what about the torque converter? For the idea I have brewing a 'matic would make life easy. But I gotta make sure it'll hold up to the power first.

From what I understand your standard manual tranny 750 sohc makes about 67-72 hp at the crank. I've heard that the matics makes 45 to the rear tire ( roughly 55-60 for a 5 speed). So i'm guessing matics and manual are both making about the same hp as each other?
