Hey everybody, im wodering exactly how much a 3.8 Liter engine weighs. Im sure somebody here knows, because of shipping them and such.
I need the weight of the engine without the intake manifolds, exhaust manifolds, and valve covers. Just the block, crank, innerds, and heads.
Also, if you guys know a good shipping company, tell me about that too.
Thanks,
Ron

it's called a long block. you also need to specify if auto or manual tranny, as there is a good weight difference. Auto long block w/exhaust manifolds weighs no more than 440lbs (what my winch was rated for ;)

Heh? Different in weight of a long block depending on auto or manual tranny??? Kidding right? The long blocks from a manual and auto car will weigh in exactly the same, as a long block does not include anything having to do directly with the said trannies.

Maybe he was thinking that the trans would still be bolted to it?!?!

Uhm yea, industry standard for longblock has no flywheel/flexplate [img]smile.gif[/img] If they are shipped with the block, it's just courtesy or you're paying more for them.

we did so. I gave a weight in teh first post, and now he needs to check to find out if he's getting a flexplate/fly wheel in the mix, or if industry standard. Weren't ou paying attention?

The short block weighs about 200-250 lbs with the crank, rods, and pistons.. The long block must weight between 400-450 lbs.. It took 4 of us to lift my long block off the truck at the machine shop.. I never weighed the motor so I dont know for sure..

1998 Firebird.. Built 3.8 with a 125 shot.. 370rwhp,415rwtq.. stock tune!! sold
whats the difference between a short block and a long block?
I don't think the thing could weigh 400 lbs because i tilted the thing back on the flywheel by myself. i mean , it felt heavy, but not that heavy.
also, anybody know any good shipping companies? i really can't find any good ones

I am happy to announce that I have sold the site to Robert (FirebirdGT). Years ago this site went down when TealV6 had it, I bought it, refreshed it,...
Went ahead and moved my starter wire from the back, to the front again since it had no effect on my drain on the battery. Also made me nervous driving...
Building the Tom Henry RS Part 4: Suspension Mods, Tires, Wheels, Headers and other Cool Stuff. By: Hib Halverson

Ultralites are nearly 25% lighter than the stock 1.6 rockers and 8% lighter than the SLP aluminum...
