So your answer is NO---you haven't ever weighed any parts-------
And when you start talking weight and balance, f/r percentages---A BASIC CRATE ENGINE doesn't set the standards we are looking for----------
An iron FE block weighs from 195-210 lbs and an aluminum Pond FE block weighs 120-125 for a weight saving of aprox 75 lbs ---also Edelbrock heads will save 50 lbs over iron Ford heads--------
An iron 351 w is near 575 and a Dart iron block/alum heads at 465-470-
I guess that my point is that everybody wants to talk weight differance but has no idea where or how the differance is-----I've weighed everything in an engine including the nuts and washers, narrowed studs, amounts of coolant/
oil system capacity makes, weight of hoses/fittings for remote coolers/filters(Ihave run race engines without
oil filters to save weight of filters and
oil in them)
Usually the mounting location of components(including engine /trans location) in both for/back AND height can/will effect handling/traction more than just basic weight differances--------
Anyway--sorry to hijack a thread about w or modular
