There is more than you might think to FWF weight. Something like 345 - 385 lbs FWF should be in the ball park. For instance, a CS prop alone is more than 60 lbs.

Not enough.  There is more than you might think to FWF weight.  Something like 345 - 385 lbs FWF should be in the ball park. For instance,  a CS prop alone is more than 60 lbs.

Thanks Tracy,
I will put this aside for future reference. Do you think as a rule of thumb an additional 60 lbs is too much for everything else.
 
Now can you tell me what the RV6 or 7 allows for firewall forward?

Here are RAW engine weights for a few Lycs.  Note that this is bare bones without starter, alternator or other accessories and oil.   Hope formatting is not too scrambled in cyberspace.
