Default Help Measurements & weight Needed for Project

Hello Everyone,

I am having a hard time finding a reliable source for measurements and weight for the engine I plan to install in my project.

NOTE: I keep finding marine engine dimensions and specs. However, those engines are completely different.
They are much bigger and heavier than the all aluminum truck engine of the same liter.

I am looking for measurements and how much a 2014up LV3 4.3lt weighs.
I will keep searching and trying to find it too.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Thank you. The LV3 is an all new design like the newer 5.3L and 6.2L ecotec3 engines.
But I must say the picture makes it seem that they are the same.

Here are some specs that I found. But still no luck on measurements and weight.

2014 Ecotec3 - 4.3L - 5.3L and 6.2L Engine Specs.

I am still looking for this info.. If anyone knows where to find it.

BTW - The link BigKid was kind enough to share does not have the weight and the measurement is not a true one - from bell housing mounting surface to farthest point forward. I could guess the difference - but I rather know for sure.

Thank you,
