Speaking to Kevin is bad since he always thinks of ways to get you into trouble.
My question is: What is the weight of the LSx engines used in the C5's (with all accessories) and what is the weight of the rear drivetrain (transmission, driveshafts and suspension pieces)? |

LSs engines are about 120 lbs lighter than the old small block Chevy engines were. It's mostly due to the aluminum block, but there is also a nylon intake that helps. With everything on there, probably a little under 500 lbs. I'm just guessing though.
Edit: One source I found says a LS1 weighs 490 lbs with the stock flywheel attached. So an automatic transmission version would be about 30 lbs less. This post has been edited by Cal: Oct 26 2005, 07:55 PM |
