The Artist formerly known as Turbo84
Just playing around this evening. Pulled the engine out this afternoon, and hooked it up to the semi-antique free digital scale I acquired a while back. The engine was pretty complete during the weigh-in. The flywheel and clutch (old lightweight L-88 system) are still on, along with the bellhousing, carb, distributor (in the brown plastic bag), starter (late C4 lightweight), and pulleys. No headers or open element air cleaner housing on it, as they were too bulky to fit at the moment. (I zero'd out the weight of the chains and load leveler prior to the weighing.)
The scale hanging load cell:
And the weight I got.
I'm still playing with the scale to make sure I've got the weight halfway accurate. I've added some additional known weight (like a gallon jug of water) that I've weighed on my HF digital scale, and the engine scale will change by the same amount.
My main reason for playing with this is to see how the new engine weight compares to this one.
