Default Weight of a Harley Evo / Twin-cam 88 for aircraft?

Anyone know what this type of engine weighs? I know that hog-air claims 200
lbs, but that's with a starter, PSRU (PRSU?), exhaust, etc. I'm wondering what
the engine itself weighs with its standard starter, and nothing else. Any
bikers in here have a spare engine and a scale?

My much-discussed "next project" could definately benefit from the noise and
cool factor that such an engine would generate. Although I did see the boys on
American Chopper stuff a Briggs & Stratton v-twin in a bike that both sounded
good, was fairly light (for 20-30hp), and would be WAYYYY cheaper... so that
might also be a possibility.

I'm currently in the process of what my grandmother called "If-whattin'". Also
known in other parts of the country as conceptualization, imagineering,
design-engineering, daydreaming, etc. Hopefully, the airframe design will come
together in another month or so and I can start working on a mockup to play
around with.

Thanks,
Harry
