Weight of transmissions/engines

[Randal.]

Looking for the weights of 915 and G50 transmissions. Also need the weight of a 993 (air cooled) 3.6-liter motor.

This will be a race car conversion, so also interested in how much weight you can get off a 993 3.6 (air cooled motor) with AC and other accessories you don't need.

Thanks.

I have read in the past that the 915 box is 125 lbs., and the G50 is 175 lbs. (With the 901 box being 75 lbs.) I cannot vouch for the accuracy of these figures, but they at least seem in the realm of sanity.

You should also concern yourself with the weight of the driver.

Yup and in this case he's skinny.

Can't remember the weight. But I compared a mag case 915 with an 86 G50 and the g50 was twice the weight, or very close too.
G50s are beasts....
