Can of worms, I know, but does Dressed Engine Weight include the clutch for this one?

What is a dressed engine and an undressed engine?

I'm asking this because I found out that the new BMW M5's V-10 weighs 240 kg.

IT L GO:
Are you sure about the weight? Where did you find that number? I checked on the LS1 dressed weight about 6 months ago, and I seem to remember 443lbs. Would the ls7 be that much more? Rods a little lighter, holds less oil if you don't count the separate resevoir, block and heads similar, crank probably a little more, rods and pistons a little less.

I have heard that same 497lbs number. My guess is that 443lbs. is for the automatic.
