Holden 5.7L (350) will weigh basically the same as a 304/308 with the same external stuff (heads, manifold etc).

GenIII I got a weight of 183kg fully assembled as it comes out of a car, but no oil, water, alternator, flywheel or wiring

fully assembled gen3 is about 220-225kg

but you want a 355 which shouldnt really weigh much more then the 308 its based on, a full assembled 308 (inc pump and starter etc) is about 320kg

Does that mean it's time to turf the 308 and get a Gen 3, 100kg difference.

What does 100kg mean in HP?

The weight for GenIII I have has no starter or exhaust manifolds.

This was weighed as a crate motor and presented to engineer and accepted.

Sealed dry L98 with waterpump, plugs, leads, waterpump, Air flow meter

I think Chris wants the weight of a 350ci stroked 304/308, not a GenIII. Anyone know what a 308 weighs?

100kg more would need at least another 20hp more. Or 100kg less would free up the use of 20 hp.

Talking .2 to .3 of a second quarter mile time.

Please note that this is only an estimate

If it has the factory inlet manifold & water pump it will weight heaps more.

GenIII for lightness and a second hand VY example won't cost the earth. Just the conversion bits will be expensive.
