Interesting -- I thought compactness and lightness were two of the major objectives of the F20C design... At any rate, Honda claims it's superior in both respects (2 inches length and 35lbs, respectively) to their 2.2L Prelude engine, so I'd assumed that it would be considered "light" in comparison to other engines, too. I'm certainly surprised that a 3.6L V8, even from an exotic like Ferrari, would be only 25% heavier. Perhaps, as others have said, it's a matter of what's included in the 326 lb. figure.

I don't care who says it, this is not a light 4 cyl engine. It may be light for what's in it, but Dan Carney wouldn't know and frankly, I don't believe Honda's corperate website much. Either way, you probably can't make it lighter aside from a few toys like a header, so what is the big deal?
If you want a difinitive answer on weight you might be able to get if from the HyperREV mag, they actually took one apart.
