Re: Chevy engine wt. comparison
I don't have the paperwork in front of me, so my numbers may be slightly off, but I know their close. A few years ago, I weighed my truck on a four corner scale at a RideTech booth at a show. At the time, it had a 350/TH350 mounted in the factory V8 (forward) location. Later that summer, I blew that engine and swapped in the LS1/700R4. The engine is mounted in the 6 cyl(rearward) location along with offset adapter plates.
With the 350 combo:
3737 lbs and almost right at a 60/40 weight bias.
With the LS1:
3590 lbs and about a 55/45 weight bias.
