Aluminum headed 460 weight?

This much.


Electric water pump, alternator, no fluids.

I laughed as i can't make this up on Friday i got my motor back and my older brother was asking me on Sunday what it weights with aluminum heads in race trim
Thanks for posting as I'm sure other may have wondered as well


Looks like a real nice piece

That's funny.  I forget I have that scale sometimes until after I am done installing stuff. Haha.

Ford Racing Performance Parts shipping weight for a complete 460 crate engine including the crate was given as 670 lbs.

Just for comparison, this is the same engine with the C6 bolted up.

The second pic is my iron head 302 with an AOD.

But the 302 had headers bolted to it what would you guess the Headers weigh?

Not much. They are the shorty headers for the turbo kit.

10 Pounds for the pair of headers?

Yeah, probably.

I could use some info on the turbo kit, thinking of doing a similar build on a car of mine.

Thanks,

It was a cheapie kit like this:

There are some things I think could change about it, but it worked and the car was a lot of fun.  Cheapo ebay GT45 turbo.



I just took that same kit and modified it a skosh to fit my son's '95.   It needed a little tweaking to fit with the SN front dress.  It's makes 8 psi, but it's a lot of fun to drive.
