but um, is there a weight to reduce weight on the engine itself? such as head, internals, etc, i'm trying to get the perfect 50/50 weight ratio for handling, and i know someone is going to say "just relocate the battery" or "get a lightweight k member" etc, but can anyone answer this question ^



ps, are the tubular kmembers as rigid as the stock ones?

 

i'll take a stab at this lol

no. there is no practical (and feasable) weight reducing
action to do to your existing engine.

i think it would be more cost effective to add a s/c, then add some
weight in the trunk, if you must attain that 50/50 ratio

 

what makes the LS1 so light?


and what are our engines made of and how much do they weight approx?

 

The ls1 is so light because it has a piece of **** unibody gm garbage frame. I have seen plent of gm cars with frame problems due to the under strength frames. If you ever get to see a firebird with its front fenders off you will see what I mean it has zero support up front.

 

i'm talking about the engien itself, its about as light as the SR20DET in my 240sx, and thats just a little 4 banger.

i would defiently not call the ls1 a piece of garbage
