Engine weight October 16, 2013, 03:55:56 PM I was curious, how much does a 5.0 weigh vs. A 3.8? Specifically a tbi V8 vs a multi port V6. I magine the V6 is a lot lighter, fewer cylinders and aluminum heads. Quote Selected
Engine weight Reply #1 – October 16, 2013, 04:36:31 PM I think the 5.0 with front dress weights about 500lbs. A 3.8 is probably about 100lbs lighter. Quote Selected
Engine weight Reply #2 – October 16, 2013, 05:26:42 PM Oh ok. I was trying to figure out the power to weight ratio, sounds like a fox w/ a V8 would weigh about the same as a MN-12 w/ a N/A V6. Quote Selected
