According to Dan Master's web page about his Ford 302 engine conversion
(http://britishv8.org/swaps/TR6ford.HTM), a TR6 engine with all
accessories weighs 460 pounds...which, interestingly enough, is the
same as a Ford 302 with cast iron heads. I didn't see any figures on
TR6 tranny weight, but Dan does mention that "with aluminum heads,
water pump, and intake manifold, a lightweight performance flywheel,
and the small starter, the Ford engine/transmission combo weighs 25
pounds LESS than the stock TR6 engine and transmission".
I bet you could contact Dan via email and he'll have the TR6
engine/tranny combo weight available...
