Bare block no internals weight is 130 lbs. Now, I guess the crank, connecting rods, pistons, heads, intake, headers, and various little other parts including the water pump, altenator, flywheel and on and on only weigh another 270 lbs?
And somehow this engine is even lighter than my 1.3 liter Rotary engine. No matter what forum I am on there is always a guy with an LS1 that swears his engine is lighter than anything you have.
