SV: [V8] Weights of vehicles

[Jörgen Karlsson]

Hi,

> The engine with all accessories weighs 470 lbs.

Does anyone know the weight of fully dressed 10v, 10vt and 20vt engines?

When I pulled the I5 from the Audi80 -83 it felt like the I5 was lighter
then the ABZ that I put in there. In my cramped garage I need to lift the
engine and engine crane by putting my shoulder under the crane before I'm
able to roll the engine into the engine compartment. My eyes almost popped
out from the blood pressure when lifting the ABZ with the ABH 6speed clutch
and flywheel installed. Either the ABZ is 35-50lbs heavier then the I5 or
the size of the monster demoralized me.
