I just weighed my 13-B: 245 lbs. It has complete intake, complete

just weighed an 0-320 without exhaust system at 279 lbs I conclude
that the rotary is a little heavier than the 0-320 but comparable to an
0-360. Jerry

know about the oil cooler.
Do you know the weight of the GM coils. If there is a significant
difference, I will change if Tracy can be talked into making the
requisite modification to the controller. Jerry
Tracy knows I think. I don't have a set.
Here is a picture of them mounted on the Power Sport engine.
