What is the weight difference between a 318 and a 360?

[Judge Mills]

My buddy thinks it is 100lbs, I say it'd only be a pound or two, if that! What do you guys think?

Pounds if that...

The 318 would need aluminum heads, water pump, etc to be 100 pounds lighter.

They are based on the same basic block/head.

Exactly... I don't know how he got that much weight out of a bigger crank and larger pistons.... I win ! :cheers:

Didn't you guys know about the lead oil pans on 360's. LOL

If you really want to make him think tell him since the outside of the engines appear the same the 318 must be heavier. It has a smaller bore therefore more iron.
