Regarding weight, the 2 rotor shortblock in my FD weighs around 200 lbs. I lifted a spare motor into the trunk of my Mini once to get it home.
The 3 rotor is a little heavier than the 2 rotor, obviously. A good estimate using the 2 rotor as a baseline might be around 300 lbs.
Check out what this shop does with a N/A 3 rotor conversion for the FD chassis: http://definedautoworks.com/ They have some nice You Tube vids also.

Wow, that is wild!!
Every time I hang out with my rotor head friend he talks about how one day he is going to make a 5 rotor and put it in a FC
FWIW: I recall reading one car mag (Motor Trend?) that did get a ride in a four-rotor from Mazda. Probably a decade or two ago now.
Can't recall which one now, sadly.
There is a video online of a AE86 with a 3 rotor, that thing is fast as hell!
