  • What does an engine weigh?

    Ok, I weighed the stock engine in my '88 Festive when I had it out to replace the clutch and transmission.
    240lbs with the Carb/intake,alternator, flywheel, clutch and pressure plate.
    Does that sound right? Not sure how accurate my scale was.

    But what I really want to know is, how much do the following engines weigh? Just looking ahead for an engine swap.
    - B6
    - B6T
    - BP
    - BPT
    - KLZE :shock:

    Thanks,
    Jeff

      your weight sounds about right... put it this way i was able to pick up the stock festiva trans with 2 fingers and carry it up a flight of stairs... so that might put the size of a festy engine into perspective :roll:

      My old b6t- wish i still had it

      Every car I have owned has had a turbo in it, until I bought this latest festiva.. I plan to fix that though.

        My b6 sohc was 250 with both manifolds, 323 flywheel, and clutch on. I weighed it on the scale at work, which is accurate to .1 lbs.

        The b6d I picked up today didn't feel any heavier, but I didn't weigh it.
        OX SMASH!!

            i loaded 2 B3 long blocks and one complete engine into the back of my parts car by myself. one person shouldnt have too much trouble, its all about leverage. altho the car is harder to push around now with the shocks bottomed out on the tires now.
            90 L FI..second B3

              Got this from the MX-3 forum.
              KLZE - 310 lbs

              weighed with oil, intake and exhaust manifolds,
              But No water,no flywheel, no Auxiliary parts i.e.
              A/c pump, P/s pump, tensioner brackets

              So, anybody know what the B6T, BP or BPT weigh?
