I'm compiling a table/writeup called "Battle Of The Sixes".
Its goal is to calculate/Gonkulate the effective power HP* of each of the Sixes we might build, all the makes I can find.

Of course its not all the Gonkulator, a lot of the makes are backed up by lots of dyno data (mainly the Nova 6 and the Falcon 6, sketchy to none on some makes).

I'm adding a "HP*" bonus/penalty based on weight so looking for complete engine weights, ie everything unique to that engine. NOT the flywheel, generator, or aircleaner but everything else ie starter, manifolds, carbs, fan. I have no info on the big GMC 302 nor the AMC 258, any numbers appreciated.

This will not be as exciting as a dyno test series but it has been fun for me doing it (learning too) and will share it unless it gets too boring.

Gmc will need about 2" more than a chevy. Usually moving the radiator to the front of the support and moving front mounts about 1.5" +/- is about whats required. 1 OLD REDNECK
