So how light can you get a Slant Six engine?
We got a weight on our latest cast crank, aluminum head & block SL6.

I thought it would be fun to see what people think... how light can you really get a Slant Six engine?
This weigh-in was done with-out the distributor or the fuel pump installed.
See the Buster thread for assembly details.

If you want to give a "to the pound" guess... reply below.
