That is about right with a starter and generator
Close to 100 pounds too much for a 1918 or earlier engine.

79.0 1922 Canadian Bare Block
79.6 1926 American Bare Block
78.0 Bare Block
17.0 1926 Crankshaft with gear, pulley and Pulley Pin
14.0 Mag Coil Ring
5.75 Camshaft with bearings, gear and gear attachment nut
4.0 One 1925 piston with connecting rod, piston pin, pin bolt, rod cap, bolts and nuts.
4.0 Starter Ring Gear
1.5 Front Main Bearing Cap with bolts and nuts.
1.5 Center Main Bearing Cap with bolts and nuts.
