This morning... oupsss, afternoon (too many beers and Scotch yesterday),
i'm putting VW boxer engine in the garbage for the metal guys, sad end i
have to say but i need room in the shop and those are rust bucket and very
high milage engine, so, since this morning we are lifting engine... to make
room for Subi's 2.5L....

So, a fully loaded 2.1L (AC, PS) is heavy, about the same as a loaded 2.2L,
me, i would say that the 2.2L feel lighter? Now, the 2.5L, it's heavier, a
good 50 pounds at least.. maybe more.

Cheers, Ben

(don't "think" the 2.5 is going to weigh more just due to its HP increase
mods). I'm almost certain it was on Ben Huot's site, but returning there I
can't find it?  So, stumped! ;>) In the end, I was using someone's else's
reported numbers, not a techy report as reference.
