For anyone interested.....

 

Borrowed the scales from work.

 

Weighed the Z engine a while ago when it came out.

It had the ex manifolds on but no air con pump. no pas pump and no alternator.

This weighed 206kgs.

 

Then weighed the Chevy in the same state, with the carb and dizzy.

This weighed 193kg, but forgot to put the ex manifolds on which weigh 5kg, so

total is 198kg.

 

Certainly a surprise how much the Z engine weighs.

 

with the Tubs and manifolds on its about 270kg (excluding ancilliaries, intercoolers, pipework..etc).

 

I will be loosing 100kg from the engine bay alone with my new engine :) ....then got to balance out the weight loss at the centre (LW seats) and rear (FG tailgate/Perspex glass)

Have you weighed the auto box , by fook they,re heavy !!!

I know that Darren,s chevy swap ended up a fair bit lighter than the zed set up :shock: :shock:

Yeah, weighed autobox, but only on some crappy bathroom scales. Was about 155lbs.

My Tremec box is 125lb.

I think the main weight saving is going to be by dumping all the associated junk that came out with the engine.

 

David, f/glass or c/fibre tailgate would be great cos I bet that weighs a ton.

Anyone ever weighed one?
