Interesting numbers in an editorial reply to a letter in Kit Car magazine, 
March 1995 issue.  Engine weights, less flywheel, clutch, and "options":
1600cc VW    215
Porsche 914  265
VW Type 4    311
Porsche 911  280
Mazda rotary 260
Ford 5l V8   450

transaxles:
VW Bug        71
Corvair      149
VW Bus        79
Porsche 901   89
ZF Pantera   135
Porsche 915  109

Depending on what "options" means, some of these seem suspicious.  Maybe they
weigh the heater boxes on the Type 4 but not on the 914?  The numbers are
attributed to Kennedy Engineered Products (no relation).  Can anyone confirm
from the Kennedy catalog?  Did I really *lighten* my Vanagon by pulling out
that huge 4 and putting in the feathery little 165hp 6?
