engine weight

[WaveDemon]

Since everyone seems so interested the how much everything weighs it's about time we weigh our motors.

I weighed my 66e tonight. I included:

• motor
• stator
• flywheel
• starter
• coupler

not included:

• carbs
• exhaust manifold

85.5 lbs
:biggthumpup:

My complete 951 weighs 127LBS with the EXTREMELY heavy oem pipe, starter, motor plate, relatively heavy PTO/coupler and billet head. (look at post #28 for reference). So subtract at least 25-30lbs for a fair comparison.

OEM 650 motor longblock (stock exhaust, but no fw/stator) weighs 83lbs per my scale.

So 701/760 should be very close to that.

kawi 750 shortblock w/ bedplate boxed up and ready for shipping:

65.8 lbs

So the 64 dollar question is, how much does a 62t case engine with the same components weigh in at???

you think you can fit some drypipes in that conversion ski?. I couldn't find room in a lowered hood standup but maybe you could run them higher. I have a cheap set of factory dry pipe for sale, would like to see them go to a 66e conversion instead of a coucher.

I might have more room under my hood than you. :dunno:

what are you asking for it?

I added a couple of more weights to the first post.

So for about 15lbs more you gain at least 15HP and more torque (+30hp if you use the Coffman pipe because it fits easier then the OEM anyways in odd hulls). Thats a good ratio.

I had heard it said somewhere that the 66e platform was about 20lbs heavier than the 62t. I would guess that it might be a little more than that.

you should reweigh with the pipe and manifold.

See very first post, my quote.

 

[FL-cracker]

Complete 62 T

Stock head
single carb/riva intake
Factory B-pipe manifold
starter/electronics/flywheel ext
Coupler
and Bed plates

78lbs per my bathroom scale

 

[accbr]

Weighed my spare motor, and other motor I have in the garage.

62T (62 pounds) with
* motor
* stock head
* stator
* flywheel (61x flywheel, lighter than a 62t one) :stups:
* starter
* coupler
* bed plates

62T (55 pounds) with
* motor
* ADA head with girdle kit
* coupler
* bed plates

 

[FL-cracker]

61x cylinder 12lbs
factory manifold 5lbs
elbow 5lbs

roughly
