Does anyone know how much a 2.5L 12v GTV6 engine weighs(Either as a complete assy. as pulled out of the car, or just the engine)? Also, the transaxle assy?

yeah ive got a complete 87 milano lol..with asumeably a platinum transaxle as well as a spare 2.5 that came with the gtv6 and then theres thefront end and 4cyl 77 alfetta stuff that ive got

the milano is to be the doaner for my "project" ....guess ill have to see where i can shave some weight..was a 1200lb project befor removeing the drive trane and suspension.....shooting for a finished weight under 2000 but would love to see under 1800

Cool project , good luck with the weight reduction.

How much Hp are you shooting for? The car should be a beast when it's done if you ca get it under a ton, and a 10:1 power to weight.

if i can bring the weight down ill probably just change out the air intake setup and drop in some S cams and be done with it....a friend of mine has a lead on a wrecked 3.0 164 in someones front yard......that would be my ideal setup but the 2.5 in a light package should be fun as all hell being a light body and super small...its smaller than a early mini
