    Light weight motor

    I'm thinking of putting a 6 cyl in a 356 Outlaw with a 901 or 915 trans. I know 356's but not so much about the 911 motors. What would be the lightest weight motor combination to shoot for? I have a core 65 2.0 with a 901 right now with webbers but if I could loose some weight it would be a good thing.

    Thanks in advance for the advice.

    The lightest would definitely be a magnesium case with carburetors. The magnesium 901 transmissions also have a significant weight advantage over the aluminum ones, and any 915.

    No, using a custom tube frame.

    Ok guys is there a engine or trans serial number sequence to help identify the Mag v Alum cases?
