Technical Can't seem to find my file of Engine weights

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by movin/on, Oct 20, 2014.

  1. I somehow must of misfiled/deleted it.

    It's a file of pretty much all engines both US made and foreign probably had 100+ engines listed.
    I'm trying to find the weight difference between a Ford FE with aluminum heads and intake vs a Lincoln V-12, 1948 vintage. With removing the power brake booster and all of the hydraulic power window mechanism and the banjo housing & torque tube etc..I've already cut out over 200#.
    I do know the weight of my FE.

    Thanks >>> Movin/on

    Why is it important to know at this point? if you assemble the car (mock up), weigh it, each axle
    separately, and you'll know what I suppose you are trying to calculate.

    As an opinion, worth as much as you are paying for it, the V12 is probably about 650-700lbs with flywheel and all accessories.

    Best wishes on your project.

    Seems Lincoln V12 is not listed. Many weights seem 'close enough', others are inaccurate, but it's quite an interest and useful guide nonetheless.
