    Thats a little disapointing, I thought the V6's were 100lbs lighter, though it is interesting to note we save 40lbs by having an auto tranny?

      That sounds wrong because the manual transmission is a whole lot smaller in size than the auto, not to mention the lack of a torque converter.

        is the ls1 all alluminum? that could account for the close weight difference.

          All aluminum with a composite intake. They're pretty light engines. I don't think the weights calculate for the actual trans, just the hookups. Remember, the 5spd trans is lighter then the 6spd, so the v6's get some nice weight reduction right there [img]smile.gif[/img]
