I am selling mine, and am trying to get some price quotes on shipping for people.

Thanks for the help,

I think a fully dressed engine weighs in the region of 430lb, manuals are heavier than auto's usually.

Not sure on the gearbox though. But depending on what you are including plus what you are going to ship it in will make a big difference. Remember the crate or packaging is normally included in the items shipping wieght.

Also are you shipping them as wet or dry? Fluids and make a noticable difference also.

Ls1's alone are around 470lbs, and my understanding is that a manual is(usually) lighter than a auto. Especially a 4L60E.

The trans only weighs about 100lbs I think. You can pick one up and move it around pretty easily. A manual with a bellhousing/clutch is going to weigh more than an auto with a bellhousing an TC.

There's a big weight list in the drag section, do a search.

i did do a search, and it appears that the drag forum only has weight reduction of accessories,not the engine itself

thanks for the help though
