Yeah... nobody is going to swap those unreliable things! And technically BMW doesn't even make real inline 6 engine's like the RB or JZ, BMW make's slant 6 engines.

Ok finally got off my lazy butt and got you all a weight of the engine minus the tranny. Here are the results.

Aren't you missing some covers on the engine which nets 10+ lbs. Anything else missing?

C130NAV · 11-29-2014, 01:15 AM

Its sitting on its side the only things missing are the Intake cover the little one that pops off and the oil pan. It has bin drained I'm sure the residual oil in it makes up for the single cover but its still pretty close. The flywheel is not on it nor is the clutch but tomorrow i can throw all those on a scale and see what it would be with them. :-)

Is it safe to say that you're looking at around $15k for the swap while performing all your own work?

I remember reading a thread where someone reported spending around 8k to do all his own work, fabbing and electrical for a V8 swap AFTER selling his brand new FA20 to offset costs and he already had the engine he was putting in.
