What does a Miata engine weigh?

My Miata is a pretty lightweight sports car overall, but I was trying to determine its weight-to-power ratio and sort out exactly which parts weigh what before I think about modifications. How much does a Miata engine weigh?

You’re super smart to consider the weight-to-power ratio and plan out your mods before getting started!
The
Miata
 is a comparatively lightweight sports car, which lends to its zip on the road. The Miata engine weight will vary slightly depending on which engine you have. The 1.6L weighs around 272 pounds and the 1.8L weighs about 290 pounds.
This is lower than the average engine weight of around 350 pounds, so it’s looking good if you’re trying to make the car as light as possible!

"Can my bank come after my other car that I have financed with them if I default on another car loan with them? "
"I bought two cars using the same lender. One of them I have been able to keep up with the payments as that car is my daily driver and the one that I really need to keep. The other car was purchased as a luxury when times were good but things have changed and I’m probably going to have to turn the car over to the lender. I want to make sure the lender is not going to come for my other car too before I do anything."
