Engine weight difference... Reply #5 – February 22, 2008, 07:11:57 AM There's only a 10 lb difference between a V8 and a turbo 4? I have to say, I find that hard to believe. Quote Selected

I have to say, I find that hard to believe.Yeah I'm doubting that as well...The old iron headed, 289/302 with cast intake and exhaust manifolds does weigh around 475 lbs... I honestly don't know about the 2.3T, but I seem to remember 380(maybe thats for a NA)...Just remember, a 5.0 with Aluminum heads, intake and tube headers is going to weigh approx 80/85 lbs less than the old all iron versions... So even at 380, the weight difference is negligible... Quote Selected
