Engine Weight
No idea whatsoever, with regards to engine weight, though it is something I have tried to find out! No one seems to want to give an approximation, not even the local engine rebuilding workshop. When I was still considering assembling the engine myself, I intended to buy a rebuild stand that would take 900kg (2000lbs). I figured that should cover any engine I would ever work with (unless I wanted to rebuild a Pratt & Whittney radial engine).
G'day Tony, No not a research question challenge - I just could not resist...  According to http://www.35pickup.com/mulligan/weight.txt the weight of a Ford V8 Flathead is Quote:
 P.S. Being naturally dubious about internet sources I did some more digging - I have already corrected the spelling of the Author's name for Reference (124) and found that there could be an error in reference (1) The Handbook of Engine Swapping 1960 could either be one of two publications Handbook of Engine Swapping Pamphlet – January 1, 1960 by Floyd Clymer (Author) Pamphlet: 103 pages Publisher: Clymer Publications; 1st edition (1960) Or going by the name cited as Reference (1) "John Thawley" it could be the right author and the wrong publication name and the incorrect year of publishing... Practical Engine Swapping [Paperback] John Thawley (Editor) Publisher: Steve Smith Autosports; Second Edition edition (June 1976) Language: English ISBN-10: 0936834110 ISBN-13: 978-0936834115 I hope this clears things up - teehee! I have contacted the author who wrote the list for a clarification of what reference (124) actually is. I will let you know if I hear back from them. Kind Regards Lionel
