Default LSX engine weights
Hey I was wondering, can you guys give me some help. I am looking for a site with the weights of each of the LSX engines (specifically LS1 LS2 and LS7). This is for work, so any help would be nice.

Id say between 3-4 hundred points, Ill try and find the exact weights but I dont see it being much more then that, b/c when you swap them in a RX7 it doesnt throw off your weight distribution and those engines weigh next to nothin

Did you need the weight of the bare block, or a fully assembled motor?
