Blackmage Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 just curious when you weighed your teksid block vs your iron, block, did you do it with heads and stuff or just the blocks themselves? When i weighed mine vs each other, they were both just block, internals, oil pans, bare heads. and the 2v came out 22 lbs heavier. i realize the heads are way bigger on the 4v's. but i didn't think bare block vs bare block they were 118 lbs different.

iRoush Posted March 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Holy crap! lolThe difference is huge. that insulation is what keeps the fuel pump noise and rear axle noise to a minimum. Taking that carpet out i hear every little noise from back there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F8L GT Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Even all the crap sound deadening weighs a lot.

95riosnake Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) The only hardware attached to that trunk latch cover is 4 plastic push pins, your cover must be made of metal because mine weighs nowhere near 2.5lbs. Not trying to rake you over the coals about it but if this thread is about weight savings, the weights need to be accurate.

However, the Cobra forged crank is heavier than a non-forged crank. I know the Teksid block is around 80 lbs. I forget what a bare iron block weighs.Edit: Durr, forgot to say awesome post iRoush!

WildWillyWalker Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 I figured you did. I wasn't implying you used a forged crank. That's quite an advantage for you since you aren't boosting anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's quite an advantage for you since you aren't boosting anyway.forged cranks are really worthless until about 600hp anyway. the rods are the weak link, but regardless, yessir huge advantage in rotating mass as well as actual weight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iRoush Posted March 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Small Update. Thanks to my local USPS office, they donated a free scale to my cause.
