Question How much does engine weigh?

Anyone have specs on the various Porsche motors that include weight?

Would like to know how much a 951 motor weighs vs. say a 968... what about a 928?

951 motor is about 375lbs. Basically double that for a 928.

I doubt the 928 engine would be double, it doesnt have two cranks for example.

No, but double everything else. Cams, rods, pistons, head, valves, lifters, exhaust manifolds, block material, etc. Heck, there may be an additional 35-40 lbs just for studs/bolts/nuts.....

It's not double. Not even close.

The 575lbs weight figure has to be close...

I just purchased a 928 motor from ebay and with two guys we couldn't even lift it off the ground. My books say the engine weighs 575 pounds dry. Reno

When I shipped my 2.5, it weighed 500+, wclutch assembly and oil. Don't rat on me about the oil.
