ENGINE WEIGHTS

Post by Carl Coight »

Does anyone know of a site or the weights of a carby 350 Chev, 308 carby Holden, carby 351, OR a 6.5lt Chev Diesel.
Everybody seems to be an expert on this being too heavy or that being to heavy. So can one of you guys in the know help me out?
The reason for the carby over injection is reliability and price.

mate, i would check with some engine conversion places, they would be able to tell you as the weight added to the car has to be taken into account for the brakes, i am unsure of the weights,

good luck.

Carl.

I'm not 100% sure on the exact configuration for each of these as they are second hand off the web, but it may help.

Chevy Small block V8, 535-575 Lbs
Chevy LT-5 & L98 V8, 600 Lbs
Ford 351C, 550 Lbs
Ford 351W, 510-525 Lbs

Paul.

PS, Dodge V10 :D 716-810 Lbs :(
