Nothing definate

but I've read on here that the 5 cyl. diesel (just the engine) is about 450 lbs, and the auto trans is around 175. I know the manual trans is a lot lighter than the auto. I would think the 4 cyl. would be a little more than 4/5 the weight of the 5.

No guarantee on any of these numbers.

On edit:

If I had all that stuff, I think I'd leave the flatmotor in the Ford and assemble a turbo 5-cylinder/4spd '79 240 (assuming you aren't parting it because it's in "parts car" condition).
