125 to 130 lbs fairly well stripped,aluminum prop hub, over 40 horses..

220+ lbs of static thrust.. 084 mil surplus engine.. 



 A friend of mines numbers.. I sold him the engine for 250 and he zero

timed it for less than 200 more..Looks promising..



   A full VW with 69 mm crank and 94 jugs would weigh a bit more

,stripped, one mag,  and put out much more thrust .. Cheap to build and

maintain too..



  However..my Global with 78.5 stroke and 92 jugs is 84 lbs and puts out

35 to 37 hp.   Herb

 At the weight you're quoting for the big twin, which is entirely in

 line with the weights listed for the Vanguard and Honda V Twin

 industrial engines, the Continental A084 becomes real attractive. 

 They

 can still be had for under $1000 and you get the designed in 

 balance

 of the flat 4.
