I'm putting an aluminum 6 Pack intake on my car and was wondering what the weight difference is between that and the cast iron version.

I'm not sure what the cast iron intake weighs but aluminum is roughly 1/3 that amount.

some of us have been wondering that for quite a while; now you can weigh both and let us know!

I had a cast iron 6pk on my 69 RR , when I removed the intake the front end lifted up about a 1/2" .

Darn. Well, weigh yours and post it and maybe someone will weigh their cast iron job. I should have, but it's bolted to the engine now.

I show the weights of a bunch of different engine parts in my B-body book. I tried to take pictures and get weights for all of the common "bolt on" parts.

Cast iron = 38.6 lb
6Pk Alum. = 22.2 Lb

However, if you are looking at overall weight savings, the three Holleys weigh considerbly more than an AFB/AVS, closing the weight difference gap.

I think he wants to know the weight difference between a cast iron 6 pack intake and an aluminum 6 pack intake. Both would have the 3 2bbl Holley carbs...

Weighed on my house scale as pictured, it weighs 42 lbs.

If aluminum is .39 the weight of cast iron as stated above, then a similar equipped cast iron intake should weigh:

42 lbs
----- = 107 lbs.
.39

Right?

No.

Mine weighs about 39.5 lbs intake and carbs and fuel line (w/o kick-down and throttle bracket)

So, using your 42 lbs:

22/.39 = 56 for cast iron intake.

Carbs, brackets and fuel line weight about 20 lbs.

about 75ish pounds total

I don't think carbs and fuel lines weigh 20 lbs.

If the intake weighs 22 lbs without the carbs, and it 42 with the carbs, where do you think the other 20 lbs comes from? Okay, 18 lbs.

You're saying it weighs 22 lbs without the carbs. Do you know that for a fact? I'm saying I don't think the carbs weigh 20 lbs.

Huh.

No need to apologize. That's a bit of an eye opener for me, thanks for bringing that up. Six-Pack breather is no feather-weight either........

Then what's your point? I could also guess at the weight of a cast iron intake but I want the actual weight.

If anyone has a cast iron intake with mounted carbs that can be weighed then that would be close.

Doesn't anyone have a cast iron intake that can be weighed?

Didn't you see his post above giving the weight of the alum 6 pk manifold and a cast iron 4bbl ?

The cast iron setup with carbs does not weigh 107 is what he is saying.

I'm going to ask a real STUPID question ... why does it matter ? If the iron weighs only 10 lbs more are you going to trade the alum. one for an iron one ? The iron one is not correct for 69 ... if that matters ....

Off topic, but I grabbed my 4326 AFB: 6.8 Lbs. Actually a little more than I thought. That puts the cast iron 4 bbl intake (the 178) and AFB at about 45ish lbs.

He was guessing at the weight of the aluminum intake. I don't want a guess. I can do that myself.

You're right. It is a stupid question. I guess you've never asked a question whose answer didn't really matter.

It doesn't matter, really. I just want to know. It's called education.

If you took all the questions on this forum that really don't matter, you'd have half the number of questions.

I put everything on my scales. I'm sure that I have had a iron pack intake on the scale but I can't find it in my notes. I'll get answers for you despite the fact that some don't think you need to know them.

It might have been a stupid question but it's not as stupid as your attitude toward someone that gave you the actual weight on the alum intake .


Here i found your answer , google search tab at the top of the page , intake weight in the search ...

intake weight

And it looks like BSB67 memory is a little foggy from 2010 because he said then the alum was 22.6 ?????

Oh man, two ooops in one thread. Pulled the records, 22.6 lbs. it is. I don't know the accuracy as I don't remember which scale I used back then. Probably the bathroom scale. Three significant figures at 10% full scale is probably asking a little much.

Then why did he state he was just guessing?

There's always someone who reverts to personal insults. I could now throw some insults your way but that's not my bag. I prefer to keep my discussions impersonal and factual - not personal and guesses. But thanks for the weight of the cast iron intake.

BSB67, thank you for the confirmation of the weight of the aluminum intake.

At least to most, it was obviously sarcasm, in response to you calling my 22 lb for intake and 18-20 lbs for the carbs BS all the while you having no data to the contrary.

When I share an opinion I present it as such.

I was spot on with my ASSessmnt of your response, but I did think better of it and removed the adjective as it was uncalled for ... much like your reply to BSB67 ... but someone quoted me before I was able to edit . oh well , you'll get over it ...

Well unfortunately, unlike most, I am not a mind reader. If you answer questions with sarcasm, then perhaps you should not answer it at all. I was seeking facts, not sarcasm.

As for me calling your quote BS, if you read the post carefully, I did no such thing. If you call questioning one of your answers BS, then you are greater than all of us... at least in your own mind.

I opened this thread seeking facts. I was answered with some that were helpful. But then I was also answered with insults and sarcasm. Not what I expected on a board of this caliber.

There obviously seems like there is no end to this nonsense. So, being the better man, you can call me what you want, accuse me of what you want but this is my last statement on this matter.

I can tell you this, based on my small block:

complete aluminum 6-pack setup, including factory t/a airclnr is 60 lbs.

edlbrk ld340, holley 3310, ~15" airclnr is 30lbs.

i like the 6-pack and its power/performance, but the frontend weight saving of 30lbs favors the eldbrk/750 setup ... (improved handling intentions spoken of here).

ok, I have both:

70 model carbs and iron intake, fuel lines and linkage, no air cleaner...77 lbs

69 model carbs and aluminum intake, fuel lines and linkage, no air cleaner....39 lbs

38 lb difference

Are we sure there isn't a significant weight difference between '70 model carbs and those from '69? Did the carbs have equal amounts of gas in them???

Seriously, nice work Jess!
