Engine weights

[justin.schoeman]

While browsing for suitable aero conversions, I found the following:

http://www.bacomatic.org/~dw/library/txt/engfyi.htm

This lists the weights of MANY engines, including cars, bikes and aeroplanes. It is rather unsurprising that almost every car engine listed that weighs in at around 200lbs, or less, has been used for aero conversions, except for one, or two. (Chrysler 2.2, and Ford Moneo V6 stand out.)

Also interesting, is that the best power to weight seems to be the Subaru EA-81. Not surprising that it is such a popular installation!
