Re: Weight difference between 320, 385 and 473 engines

Someone just asked for that postwar engine weight data within the last week and I looked it up and posted it. It might have been in the second of the two similar posts on the "wackiest" idea about putting a six in a 55. If I have to I'll look it up all again, but how about searching first?

Essentially throughout the 32-38 Senior production (early 32 Eight & Deluxe Eight excepted), they all shared essentially the same transmission. 1934 specs say they all also shared the same 7x12 clutch lining though there may have been differences in the Twelve pressure plate - don't know for certain.

OK, saved you the effort - from a recent post:

Engine weights with clutch and transmission from the 1941 specifications.

110 (245): 673 lbs, 734 with overdrive
120 (282): 781 lbs, 839 with overdrive
Super8 (356): 986 lbs, 1036 with overdrive

PS - Here's some more data from the 1954 specifications, with clutch and transmission.

288: 860 lbs, 890 with OD, 995 with Ultramatic
327: 885 lbs, 920 with OD, 1020 with Ultramatic
359: 876 lbs, 911 with OD, 1011 with Ultramatic

(Lighter weight of 359 over 327 due in part to aluminum cylinder head).
