Engine Weight?

Does anyone know how much a 500/507 engine w/electric start weighs? Since coming across a 3 1/2 or 500 frame is impossible out here in the Northwest USA, I'm tossing around the idea of transplanting my Excalibur's 507 into a different rolling chassis.

Late type 507 engine with starter weighs just over 8 stones on our bathroom scales - so about 115lbs. Pity to have to use a non morini chassis: norton featherbed would work but have too much empty space I think. Pre unit BSA, ie A7/10 B31 Gold star? Handle very well in my experience, and could be fitted with modern forks and brakes. Please, not a Harley chassis!
