The Findanza flywheel is 14lbs
My CVR waterpump is 5.8 lbs and the adapters are another 3.
My 3G alt is 15.4 lbs
RST clutch and pressure plate are 22.5lbs.
PS pump I'm not sure but maybe 15lbs.
Holley carb 13 lbs

Most the oil is back in the tank.

That's 82 lbs + maybe another 5 to 7 for the AL brackets.

So it should be right about 450 or a little less.

Need to add headers though they might as well count as part of the motor.

:cheers:

The entire LOTUS weighs 1450….

Think about that. What's that -- your motor and trans and 4 wheels???

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I was amazed at your weight of the motor though I have to say!

Rob, that's impressive. I never would have thought the engine would be that low weight, even with all the alum..
I have a few small parts for the dash if you need something. I won't be using on my car. Let me know what you may need, free to good home.
I also have a few exterior parts.

I think I have all the dash parts I need but you never know.:thumbsup:

When I bought the block it shipped regular UPS since it was less than 115lbs.:D

BTW GW all 4 wheels are less than 100lbs.
Tires are 136lbs
Trans is another 135lbs
So we'll need a few more parts to hit your 1450 #.:action-smiley-027:

One day when I'm done with this car I'm putting together a backup track car. a Factory Five 818R. Sure it's heavy but it will have 225 hp.

:cheers:

Rob - I guessing you've weighed the brakes?

Did you get a rolling chassis weight?

Rob, does the T56 QT bell have to be indexed? Seems like it has a huge hole, unlike the TKO that slips around a collar on the trans/input shaft.

Whatever you do, don't index it, laying on your back, under your "Torin" while it is up on saw horses. It is a pain.

Hmmmmm...

I see someone was thinking ahead and said "Rob may want to run some exhaust pipes through here"

Been studying these pictures, and thinking???

Why don't you less time on here and weighing everything and being defensive about Betsy's weight situation and more time making progress? :twak:

You got your parts.
You got a shop to work in.
You have tools (Brett's).
And you have Brett when you get in trouble.

So what's your excuse Sally? :bitchslap:

Oh, and I'll see ya tmrw... :D

:cheers:

Dig seeing the progress Rob!
