Engine Weight/Size FYI version 00.02.04
by Dave Williams, [email protected]
It isn't really a Frequently Asked Question, so I'll call it an
"FYI", For Your Information. This was originally a list I'd compiled
long ago on paper, then moved to the computer, then posted on the net
as a response to some questions. It wound up being popular, but since
I didn't keep track of the origin of the data there was some debate as
to how accurate the list was. This new improved list has origins
where I could find references; what doesn't have an origin is stuff
from my original list.
You'll sometimes see more than one weight listed. Some weights are
for just a long block, some are complete and ready to run, and of
course everything in between. Some engines varied in weight during
their production runs - for example, some later Chevy V8s use thinwall
blocks and aluminum heads.
As of version 94.06.01 engine dimensions have been added. Since the
shape can vary quite a bit within the maximum limits this data isn't
very useful, but many people have requested it.
As of version 00.02.04 transmission weights have been added.
If you have any figures you'd like to contribute, please send them to
