Base model EF Falcon V8 = 1591KG
Base model EF Falcon I6 = 1560KG
1591KG - 1560KG = Same spec I6 equipped car is 31KG lighter

Bare 302W = (460lb approx * 0.453) = 208KG(google figure could be wrong).

So if we attribute that 31KG difference in the EF Falcon to the engine alone we end up with a 177KG engine weight for a bare I6. That's assuming all the engine accessories, auto, etc are roughly the same weight in both cars. Which is a BIG assumption.

That's my extremely rough guess which is most probably wildly inaccurate. I'll be interested to see if my guesstimate comes out close.

It's ~200 kg. I think the figure quoted with the EA was 212-213.
