Sean, the 460 really isn't all that heavy.  I would guess
about 625 pounds.  I have one in my shop, fully assembled if you
*really* need the exact weight.  I think my shipping scale
goes to a half-ton.
The earlier large V8 engines like the Olds, Lincoln, Buick were
heavier.  The old Chrysler hemi ran about 735 if I remember right,
and those others were under that.  A small-block Chevy runs
just a tad over 500 pounds, and the 289/302 Ford less than that.
Your 351M is probably about 575, give or take.
But shipping across country still puts it into the "why bother"
category.  You should be able to find a mid-70's 460 locally for
about the shipping charge for those others.  And you can hear it
run, too.  The 351M and 460 have the same bellhousing bolt pattern,
so the transmissions bolt up.
