Pretty sure the Ford GT weight figure is the dry weight but includes all the accessories(power steering, ac, alternator etc) and the dry sump tank plus clutch and flywheel. No denying the Ford GT motor is heavier. The Ford GT motor was quite a bit more expensive when it was available somewhere between $34000 and $45000 and if you paid a core charge. One is on Ebay right now for $39000. Plus the GT motor is huge. Ford Parts Direct currently is listing the Ford GT bare block at about $6600.
