Alfred,

I tried without success to find the info on the Audi. For a dramatic comparison, I have a side-by-side picture of a SBF 302 and the Ford modular 4.6 DOHC. The DOHC motor is huge, and weights in at a whopping 680lbs. Again going from memory, the Audi V8 falls into a similar weight league otherwise it would be a very nice motor. The all iron Chevy is 520 lbs, and the Ford crate alum head 302 is 425 lbs (less intake, dist, headers). The Gen III LS1 Chevy is listed at 390 lbs (though someone actually weighted one at 435lbs) complete with EFI, computer, harness, headers, water pump, etc. That would be a great motor for the 914.

Thanks, I just (ass)(u)(me)d that the newer aluminum motors were lighter. I learn something new everyday.
