Yeah, back to looking at 2.2 and 2.4 engines while day dreaming. Not sure it is relational...
Just curious If there are any significant handling/weight advantages. I don’t think so, so does it come down to aesthetics of how the engine spin and sound? I will duck and cover now... |

Thanks for the weight specs @superhawk996
Looks like 80+/- pounds for the 2.4 vs 3.2 then excluding any other related weight light flywheel difference etc. So maybe 100 to 110 pounds in total with front cooler and lines? |

Other things can effect those numbers as well, my 3.0 doesn't have the CIS and related gear as I have carbs. Many have the opinion that the /4 handles better than a /6 because there's a significant weight difference between the two engines. |
