2011 Mustang V6 Revealed

Swapping a KA24DE + Trans (5sp) to an LS1 + Trans (6sp) actually saved 100lbs if I remember correctly.

Just look at how much weight is lost going from a puny rotary to an LS1 lol.

And no, I meant 100lbs/liter - I was poking fun at the fact that Red370 assumes that more cubes = more weight by default, as if motor weight grows in proportion to displacement.

I wouldnt be surprised if the VQ37 weighs more than an LS1.

Nobody - but I was thinking of the heaviest, low-displacement motor I could think of lol. Those are pretty damn low, and heavy as hell.

Time to break some hearts. Red370 does not assume, Red370 knows. 4.6L V3 = 420lbs. 5.0L = 543.7lbs and a grand total of.... 123lbs gained. Unfortunately in this case, more displacement = more weight.

Chevrolet lists the following:
LS1:
Al. Block 107.1 lb.
Al. Head 20.3 lb.
Dressed with all accessories 457.6 lb.

No, the LS1 does not weigh less than the VQ37.

And you are getting this weight from...where?

Most anything, save for the displacement and a few pictures, is theoretical about the Coyote project.
