How much  does the engine weigh?

According to Taylor the four cylinder Coventry Climax 1.5L racing engine
based on a Ford putting out 150 HP weighed 275 pounds and that was with
an alloy block.

The Climax engine was a conversion of a fire pump engine running at one speed for a water pump. It wasn't designed to do much, and not very fast at that. A friend has one and it reminds me of a gloified Bugeyed Sprite engine.

The point is the weight is typical for an engine this size and this HP.
