There was once a searchable post on a guy that actually weighed one.
Having lifted one personally, I'd guess just over 300 pounds.
The dimensions are here:

There is a shipping company that posted in the parts for sale
section ... maybe save some bux shipping - if that's what you're up to.

Ya Mike, the bare frame weighs ~300lbs. Do you have a date set yet for the frame swap?
