How much does a 2 stroke triple or twin weigh?

 i've scoured the internet looking for the engine weight any 2 stroke snowmobile engines.  the best I can find is a racing V4 engine that weighs 95lbs.  Is 95lbs typical of what a twin would weigh? 

Does anyone have any pic of the phantom or can tell me about his setup. I have took seveal pics of Bowlands and read about his engine and setup. I am in a planning stage of a build and just looking for info. Also does anyone use tunnels under the car or thought about using them.   Chad

Not sure about Amod but there are some Bmod cars using tunnels as well as front and rear diffusers. All the top CSR's/DSR's in road racing have moved to tunnels but I think the jury is still out on how worthwhile they may be for Solo.

The front splitter/diffusers and rear diffusers are not too bad as far as packaging (and the rear can certainly help work a rear wing), but packaging a set of tunnels for Solo may be more trouble than they are worth. I'm sure there are more qualified opinions available here than this one!

Please share any info about the Shark engine and set-up. The Vancouver Special has tunnels, the Phantom does not: http://s221.photobucket.com/albums/dd280/Bailor_AM_Special/competitor%20cars/

I read bowland's info on here awhile back. Can't find it now though. I think the phantom posted it.
