What does your engine weigh?
What does your engine weigh?
Also, does anyone know what my 2.9 aj6 jag engine weighs and what a 4.0 supercharger aj16 jag engine weighs? 
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

v12 is 309kg undressed so its going to be a minimum of 200kg !
2.9 had a v12 cylinder head, not very good, the 3.6 and 4.0l DOHC's were much better, I had a 4.0l XJS a few years ago, went really well, faster
than the v12 it replaced as it was a rare factory manual. Should never of sold it

The only figures I ever found for the aj16 engine were about 220Kg, and that was reputedly bare i.e. without injection, chargers, alternator etc etc
 , not sure about aj6 or the 2.9 but I would imagine the 2.9 would be slightly lighter being a single cam as against a twin cam (is it still a ally
head on the 2.9?)
So a serious lump of an engine, but when you see (and lift) the crank from one you start to understand why
It was apparently designed around the possiblilty of a diesel variant being introduced, so the bottom end was over engineered just in case (which will
be why they run forever when looked after).

2.9i V6, not sure but definately need an engine hoist to lift it, supposedly the heaviest boat anchor around, (but maybe the quickest ) Ray
To make a car go faster, just add lightness. Colin Chapman - OR - fit a bigger engine. Chippy

Mine feels like it'll compress into a black hole at the end of it's lifetime. It's certainly got it's own gravity, everything
in the garage seems to have clustered around it
