Hundreds of pounds.  The motor itself is obviously a lot heavier, but 
the transmission that you'll need to use (02A weighs more than 020), 
along with the hydraulics for the clutch and all the rest of the bits 
that go with a VR swap (custom motor mounts, chassis reinforcement, 
etc) add mass too.  I wish I could remember the exact number but I 
think 2-300 pounds is reasonable.
