6.7L Turbo Diesel weight?

I watched an assembly line video of an F-250 turbo diesel 6.7L being produced. Watching them lower the entire engine/trans package onto the frame is a very heavy task. The fan blades alone look like they belong in a 747 engine. Anyone know the weight of the entire engine/transmission?

This doesn't answer your question totally (trans weight?) but is still interesting.

Info from: 6.7L Power Stroke Specs

6.7L Powerstroke Specs
Engine: Ford Motor Company 6.7L Power Stroke diesel V-8.

Displacement: 6.7 liters, 409 cubic inches.

Production Years: 2010 to present model years.

Block/Head Material:
• Compacted graphite iron engine block (CGI) with 6 bolts per main bearing cap.
• Aluminum cylinder heads with 6 head bolts per cylinder.

Compression Ratio: 16.1 : 1

Firing Order: 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8

Bore: 3.90 inches (99 mm).

Stroke: 4.25 inches (108 mm).

Aspiration:
• DualBoost variable geometry single sequentual turbocharger (dual compressor housings, single exhaust housing), wastegated.
• Air-to-water intercooler (charge air cooler or CAC).

Injection:
• Direct injection, 30,000 psi high pressure common rail.
• 19mm Piezo actuated injectors with 8 hole nozzles.
• Bosch CP4.2 high pressure injection pump.

Valvetrain: Conventional pushrod OHV, cam in block, 4 valves per cylinder (32 valve).

Oil Capacity: 13 quarts w/ filter.

Oil Requirements:
• CJ-4 or CJ-4/sm engine oil is required to ensure emissions system compatibility.
• 10W-30 is the preffered motor oil viscosity for normal use.
• 5W-40 or 15W-40 engine oil is recommended for severe duty or biodiesel applications. Viscosity recommendations vary with ambient temperature; refer to owners manual.

Engine Weight: Approx. 1,100 lbs w/ oil, 990 lbs dry.

Emissions Equipment: EGR, DOC, SCR, DPF (see below for comprehensive emissions system information).

Peak Horsepower:
• 390 hp @ 2,800 rpm (introductory for 2010 model year, prior to August 2010 update)
• 300 hp @ 2,800 rpm (applies to chassis cab models only)
• 400 hp @ 2,800 rpm (2010 - 2014 model years)
• 440 hp @ 2,800 rpm (2015 model year)

Peak Torque:
• 735 lb-ft @ 1,600 rpm (introductory torque rating for 2010 model year, prior to August 2010 update).
• 660 lb-ft @ 1,600 rpm (applies to chassis cab models only)
• 800 lb-ft @ 1,600 rpm (2010 - 2014 model years)
• 860 lb-ft @ 1,600 rpm (2015 model year)

6.7L Powerstroke Torque Curve

6.7L Power Stroke horsepower and torque curve
Note: Horsepower & torque chart reflects original 390 hp version of engine.

6.7L Power Stroke Emissions System Overview

• Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR). A unique feature of the 6.7L Power Stroke is that EGR flow is controlled by the EGR valve prior to entering the EGR cooler, as opposed to cooling the exhaust gases before EGR flow is managed. This post-cooling system reduces sludge and soot buildup in the EGR valve, minimizing maintenance.
• Diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC). The DOC is a ceramic catalytic converter designed to oxidize hydrocarbons in the exhaust stream.
• Selective catalyst reduction (SCR). The SCR is where diesel exhaust fluid (DEF; 32.5% urea) is injected & mixed into the exhaust stream. Diesel exhaust fluid is used to convert nitrous oxides into water & nitrogen. DEF fluid level must be maintained to ensure proper operation of the system and the truck (an empty DEF tank will result in reduced performance and speed).
• Diesel particulate filter (DPF). A DPF captures diesel particulate matter (soot) and uses active regeneration technology to heat the exhaust system periodically, completely burning soot build up & cleaning the filter.

Additional 6.7L Power Stroke Info

• The 6.7L Power Stroke engine blocks are manufactured by American foundry company, Tupy. The engines are assembled in Chihuahua, Mexico.
• Ford Motor Company announced new power ratings for the 6.7L Power Stroke on August 3rd, 2010. Owners of the 390 hp model were able to receive a free dealer installed upgrade to acheive the new 400 hp power rating.
• The pre-production 6.7L Power Stroke was nicknamed the "Scorpion" due to its unique turbocharger mounting location and exhaust/intake arrangement.
• The 6.7L Power Stroke features an extremely flat torque curve; 700+ lb-ft is maintained from 1,600 RPM to 2,800 RPM.
• Single Sequential turbocharger features a variable geometry turbine housing.
• Reversed intake & exhaust flow. Intake valves located on the outside of the cylinder head, while exhaust exits into the engine valley where the turbocharger is mounted. Increases thermal efficiency of the turbocharger.
• "Instant Start" glow plugs which are said to provide quicker starts in even the coldest of weather.
• Compacted graphite iron block for reduced weight (160 lbs lighter than the 6.4L Power Stroke).
• Engine uses fractured cap Mahle connecting rods.
• Features piston cooling jets for lower piston temperatures. Oil is jetted into the bottom or the piston and travels through a cavity within the piston, cooling the top of the piston before exiting. This helps lower combustion temperatures and increase the longevity of the engine.
• B20 biodiesel compatible.
• 6.7L Power Stroke receives 18% increase in fuel mileage over 6.4L.

It that a YouTube video? Can you post a link so all that are interested (me) can watch it too?

13 quarts? Wow. If you're burning synthetic you're talking what $65 plus how much for a filter?

Its a lot better than older Ford diesels. They took 16-17 quarts.

Diesel engines typically require a lot more.
Filter can be had for about $15.

Just curious where that spec came from...

990 is not unexpected for a V8 Diesel of it's size, but when you figure that it has aluminum heads, well, WOW!

Thanks for posting the video. Never thought to look before. Here's a longer video of the same thing:

I know this isn't a SD but some of this stuff is pretty cool. I wonder how long it will take to bring to market.

Sorry. I'm a bit off topic.

I got it from Ford Power Stroke Diesel Specs (see link in second post of this thread 6.7L Power Stroke Specs). Don't know where TH2014F350 got it from.

Here's a comparison chart that might be of interest:
Power Stroke Comparison

And for those interested the Cummins 5.9L weighs in at 1150 pounds:
5.9L 24V Cummins
235-325 HP @ 2900 RPM
460-610 lb-ft @ 1600 RPM

I'm guessing that figure should be fully wet (oil & coolant)
