I’m looking to get some clarity on the weight of engine blocks in different types of vehicles. Like, how much should I expect an engine block to weigh if I’m thinking about a replacement or maybe even an upgrade? Are there significant weight differences between, say, a V6 and a V8 engine block?
Factors to Consider
- Material: Are there different weights depending on whether the block is aluminum or iron?
- Engine Type: Does the configuration (inline vs. V) change the weight?
- Applications: I assume sports cars might have different specs compared to trucks.
I’d appreciate any insights or experiences you all have had regarding engine block weights and how it played into your projects or repairs.
