<VV> Engine Weight

[Bob Gilbert]

Hi,

 

A couple of questions;

 

1)Does anybody have a rough idea of the total weight of a 66 180 engine from
the bell housing on back  on back - full kit, carb, sheet metal, turbo,
muffler - everything essentially ready to run?

 

2) I've had Corvairs for 20 plus years and I have always removed the engine
with diff and tranny attached. I then split the engine off as required. Just
habit I guess. Is it in fact possible to re and re the engine and leave the
diff and transmission in the car? Any pointers?

 

Thanks,

Bob
