 RW> Gimme a break.  We're not talking a tank diesel engine, just a Ford
 RW> 460. 800lbs would be stretching it.
Well, my brother's got one in a 1 ton van, and he's also got the specs for
the engine.  I think they're straight from Ford, but I'm not positive.
Supposed to be around 1200 lbs.  I'm just quoting what I've been told by
informed sources.
 
 CB> Not exactly light, ya know?  Why do you think they guzzle so

 RW> It takes gas to feed cubic inches.  Engine weight hardly enters into

Well, the heavier the car, the more gas it uses.  I know displacement and
wind resistance have a lot more to do with it, but weight still affects
mileage.
