Ted,
Thanks. That means with a clutch and flywheel, the engine weighs 371 pounds
in a "ready-to-run" condition. 66 pounds less than a comparable Ford engine
(exactly the weight difference posted by a lister awhile back -
unfortunately, I forgot his name). If the Rover engine does weigh 40 pounds
less than the MGB 4 cylinder, as is often stated in the literature, then the
B engine weighs 411 lbs, or only 26 pounds less than a Ford.
