Anyone know the weight of a dry 750 Commando complete engine? Trying to figure shipping cost.

About 90# measured in three lots.
Cases, barrel and heads 46#
Crank, rods and pistons 26#
Timing cover and what goes under it, valve gear etc. 17#
Missing stuff and rounding up 1#

I put my race motor on the scales and got 40kg, just over 88lbs so the 90lbs pointer is about right!

Cast iron barrels, Maney cases (heavy) and crank (light), JSM Pistons and rods, so on balance still pretty similar to stock in weight.
