Does any body know the weight of the LS1 and the LS6?

Dry or Wet?

Chevy states "Total dressed engine mass (wt.) dry" - Automatic 457.6 lbs. (208 kg); Manual 497.2 lbs. (226 kg)

Wonder if LS6 is the same weight.

No problem. :thumbsup:

Weight of the LS6/Z06 engine would be that of the manual @ 497.2 lbs.

Nice find. For what it's worth, the LS1s great grand daddy, the 265 cu inch, 162 hp 55 chevy V8 was about 530 lb. Aluminum and progress in engineering and manufacturing are your firends.
