Thank you for the responses.
From the new posts, I can now see that the weight is not in the frames. I already have enough Re-Engineering projects and prefer not to mess with aluminum frames. It was only an idea.
Is the 220 pounds with the throttle bodies, starter, countershaft cover, and exhaust? I weighed my ZG14 engine and without the starter motor, transfer case, TB's, exhaust, it was 175 pounds. Bathroom scale. This was without the parts. Transfer case is/was 13 pounds. Rear drive unit and driveshaft was 25 pounds.
Is a Busa engine really heavier?
I totally agree on the wheels. Would love a set of BST's, but they are way outa budget. Trying to keep it cost effective. And always worry if it gets stolen.
Please, more actual engine weights.
I will try and reassemble my Busa engine for a closer to actual weight so I am not looking like a fool asking stupid questions and all.
Thanks all.
