ludwig113 Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 Hi all, Has anyone got a reliable weight for the gt6 engine (without gearbox) i've done a search across the web and it comes in anywhere between 165-401 kg ! The reason i'm asking is i'm about to buy an engine stand and don't want something flimsy, as it will be on the stand for several months. cheers paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Twitchen Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 Paul, I have one that I used for my GT6 engine, and Land Rovers various, that I was just about to put on Gumtree. Sent you a PM. Dick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 4 cylinder is 125kg (depending what is/isn't bolted to it) so a 6 will be 175ish? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 According to Triumph 2000 / 2500 / 2,5 Register, dry engine weight is 183 kg (2000) which I think is correct. You have to scroll down a bit to find the weight. The flywheel on a GT6 might have less weight than a 2000 (?) so I would guess approximately 180 kg for a GT6 / Vitesse 2-Litre engine. /Roger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ed.h Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 Weight of course depends on what is included. 6 cyl block is 135 lb. Crank and bare head each about 60 lb. Ed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ludwig113 Posted January 31, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2022 thanks chaps, i'll hedge my bets and go with "just under 300kg" depending on what's still attached. cheers paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
