Engine trivia question

[C-FAH Q]

Ok, here's the question.

How much does a completely stripped down case from an IO-360-C1C weigh?

No looking it up, just strictly guesses.

Answer to follow later today.

I just stripped this case as it was cracked under the number one cylinder on a customers plane, and thought for fun i would throw it on the scales.
