I just wanted to share this...
Yesterday I started tearing down the LS1 and made a pile of parts that will not be going back on this engine when it's done. When I saw how much stuff there was, I was amazed and out of curiosity decided to see how much it weighed. I got out my trusty Berkely fish scale (handle and hook version) and started picking up parts to weigh them. In total I permanently removed 60 pounds of parts off the motor.
I could not believe it. The motor mounts were 9.5 pounds a piece. The exhaust manifolds combined were 21 pounds, air conditioning generator was 18.5 pounds and a host of other parts, brackets, hoses and an EGR system rounded out the weight.
I can't believe how heavy the motor mounts were....19 pounds combined.
