Thanks for posting david!

I reckon that all the things you mentioned weigh about 10-15lbs each... so just over 500 lbs ready to install in the car? not bad!

No prob.

I had the lower intake runners on there and I threw the manifold on top and it went just over 500lbs.

Hey Elwesso, I hear alot of talk about the weight of this engine, maybe this should be made a Stuck thread?

I dont have a transmission yet, I'd like to get skyline 4wd trans first but I'll try it rwd first by using 300zx 5 speed.

I need to take the rods and pistons out before fitting because I'd like to cut the firewal and move the engine behind the shock towers.

if you want Z32 transmission weight, they are roughly 100lbs, give or take a few.

i didn't get a chance to weigh them on their own becaues i didn't feel like unloading them out of my car when i went to the scales, but when i subtracted the weight of my car, it weighed 100 lbs.

I'm selling my auto trans, anyone know what one of these weigh? I'll drain the fluid out of the pan, but some will still be in the convertor.
