I would think there are numerous out there that know this,,,,,,

What is the weight difference between a small block/glide and a big block/turbo?

Think 68 Camaro application here.

100#?
125#?
more?
less?

Thanks,

Unk

Bob----
Approx weights in Pounds

Engines:
steel head/intake SBC --575
steel head/intake BBC-- 685

Transmissions:
PG--95
Turbo 350--125
Turbo 400--195

TRANS WEIGHTS LESS CONVERTOR & FLUIDS-- ADD APPROX 25-30 LBS FOR CONV.--ADD 2 POUNDS PER QT TRANS FLUID

these are just ball park figures a lot depends on if you have trick or lightened parts in trans --small convertor(7/8in)---deep or stock pans---shorty or regular length tail case etc. Hope this helps -Comp 387

Approx. 226 lbs difference between a 396/325 HP 1968 Camaro with a 400 turbo and a 1968 350 Camaro with a P/G. The weight difference would of course be less if you ran a 350 Turbo or a 200 metric behind the 396.

That TH400 weight of 195lbs seems high?
I believe there to be approx. 30 lbs difference between the glide @ 95 lbs and the Th400 @ 125 lbs.

I knew you all would have the answer, now another question, how much weight is saved with a metric over a turbo?

I know, just full of questions,,,,,

but the answers are appreciated
