LS1/6 Engine weight

V8 240sx? Sure! If either the chassis OR the engine is non-Nissan (i.e. SR20 in an RX-7 or LS1 in a 240sx), we've done it.

For those wondering how much an LS1 weighs fully dressed.

Total Dressed Engine Weight Auto. - 457.6 lbs. (208 kg) (Flexplate)Manual - 497.2 lbs (226 kg) (Pressure Plate and Fly Wheel)

I have been getting alot of emails and comments on youtube and people dont believe the motor is that light. I weighed my transmission with converter and it was under 140LBS (TH350 short tail). The total motor set comeplete is under 600 lbs excluding exhaust.

Now I have seen a lot of numbers and variation on how much the KA24DE and SR20DETs actually weight. I never weighed my KA24 when I pulled it, but it wasn't light and the transmission was a bear too. Please post the weight if you actually weighed yours. The number I have seen are from 350lbs to 750lbs
