Complete Engine Weight

[Nick Micale]

Since I just shipped a complete engine, I have seen the weight question asked many times, and now I can state an exact figure.

The engine is a Stage II build with all forged internals, alum heads, billet cam, oil pan, intake, timing cover with TA external oil pump, steel balancer and SFI flexplate, and it is a 4 bolt main block.

The scale weight was 400 pounds.

The Stage block is ~50#'s heavier than production blocks, and the forged rotating parts would add about 50#'s over a stock GN engine.

So with this basic info, one could closely estimate the weight of a given Buick V-6 engine.

Hey Nick, you know the name of the shipper and their contact info?

 

[Nick Micale]

Once it leaves the terminal here in Phoenix, I do not have a way to track it?

All I do know is with all the engines we have shipped, when it arrives at your local terminal, they will contact you as I gave them all your info.

My guess is you should hear from them this week. I sent you the B/L which will identify your shipment there.

If you are not contacted this week, let me know and I will check with the terminal here for their help.

What is the weight difference between a TA aluminum block and a stage block?
