Default LSX weight

Any idea how much less an LSX weighs (compete w/accessories) versus a Gen I all cast iron engine w/accessories? I have heard it was on the order of 100 lbs.....THX

412 is the average LS weight for an aluminum block engine

The difference between the LS Ironblock and the LS Aluminum Block is 84lbs itself..something like that.

If you have any questions just shoot me a message any time. I just got these pictures from a customer of mine the other day. I hope he doesn't mind me sharing, it's such a great looking build.

We sure do. There's not much we don't stock or have immediate access to. I saw your post about the WP119HD, we can get any color, but I'm out of stock on all HDs. All I have here is the standard wp119 in black. I can get any of them that you need in a matter of days though.
