The above came from: dave.williams@chaos.lrk.ar.us
He published a pretty complete list of engine weights for many makes on the web. |
The spreadsheet had 86# for bare heads. Based on how it added up, I took it to mean two heads equal 86# or one is 43#. If that is so, Aluminum cannot save more weight than what the iron parts weight. So what is the correct weight for the heads?
If I add 33# that Barry said an aluminum intake runs, to this 50# savings, then an iron intake should tip the scales at 83# give or take. Does that sound correct?
Thank you very much for the spread sheet. I collect tid bits like this.
