Anyone using a VW VR6 drivetrain?

Tons of power and torque, plus they're a couple years old and destined to get cheaper. The question is what they weigh; anyone have a accurate number for the 2.8l and/or 3.2l?

I wanted to do a vr6 mid engined in my golf, but they;re still a little pricey here in canada. south of the boarder they seem to be more common and much less expensive.
