Engine on its own is around 550. Around 75 pounds for the intake and exhaust manifold. I have not looked at the transmission weight. |

It kind of depends on the version you are getting:Forged Crank slant six 1 barrel may be 500-600 lbs (early cranks are heavier, but drool tube heads aren't as heavy as the peanut plug heads, aluminum intake manifold, etc... cast cranks are lighter in may respects, got an aluminum block?) I loaded a 1979 cast crank engine shod with the 1 barrel setup and a late A904 in the back of my truck and it didn't even flinch (the front gets 'light' if over 750 lbs...) Check Doc's posts on throwing together an engine with all the light components. -D.Idiot |
