A bathroom scale will help you get close.

Do you need to calculate weights for items you are shipping or receiving?
If you need the weights for items you are shipping, you can readily purchase a 400 pound digital scale for $15/$20... Or as previously suggested an everyday bathroom scale will give you a reasonably close weight... If you need the weights for items being shipped to you, the seller should be able to provide that info...

I've shipped heads, and IIR they weighed around 55-60# each, aluminum intake maybe 40#...

Are you shipping parts from the States to Australia? If so, contact member called flatoz and ask his advice on the best way to ship. Several years ago I shipped him a 455. Right now I'm building a crate to ship him some 1955 Olds parts.
