This morning... oupsss, afternoon (too many beers and Scotch yesterday), i'm putting VW boxer engine in the garbage for the metal guys, sad end i have to say but i need room in the shop and those are rust bucket and very high milage engine, so, since this morning we are lifting engine... to make room for Subi's 2.5L.... So, a fully loaded 2.1L (AC, PS) is heavy, about the same as a loaded 2.2L, me, i would say that the 2.2L feel lighter? Now, the 2.5L, it's heavier, a good 50 pounds at least.. maybe more. Cheers, Ben
