engine weight Reply #4 – May 27, 2008, 10:24:47 PM A 5.0 roller block weighs 126lbs... The heads approx 45lb ea... Crank, rods and pistons, haven't a clueA complete carbed, iron headed and intake 302 weighs in the area of 470lbs... Not sure if that includes exhaust manifolds or not, but possibly so... With aluminum heads, intake and tube headers it's easy to shave it down to 400lbs or less for a complete engine... Quote Selected

engine weight Reply #8 – May 29, 2008, 09:41:48 AM Quote from: bhazard;221071I carried a 460 block, heads, crank, rods and pistons in the trunk and back seat of my freakin turbo coupe!About five years ago, I had a guy come over 100 miles in a Bronco II to buy a complete '69 4bbl 351(air cleaner to oil pan, cast exhaust manifolds and all)... After a little dealing, he also bought the cast iron FMX tranny that came off it... PLUS a cast iron 4bbl 289 intake and a few small odds and ends... Once we set all that stuff in the back, I thought it was going to pull a wheelie just setting there... Guess he made it home OK, never heard from him and nothing on the radio about a wreck between here and Richmond...Now for the unbelievable(but true)... The original owner of my '69 Cobra Jet Fairlane use it to transport two calves approx 25 mi... Story(from him), is he bought the calves for his dad and didn't want to go back for them, so he pulled the back seat(went into trunk), laid out some burlap bags and away they went... I wouldn't believe it my self, but he teaches at a Christian school in MD(or at least did when I talked with him), so I have no doubt it's true... Quote Selected

engine weight Reply #10 – May 29, 2008, 06:54:24 PM I carried a 351W in the back of my old Nissan truck (which, at the time, was my father's nearly brand new Nissan truck), but was stupid enough to not tie it down (I was 18, so youth is my excuse - that and the fact that the blackflies were trying to eat me, so I was in a hurry to get the engine loaded and get out of there). Needless to say, the inevitable happened - some idiot cut me off, I stomped on the brakes, and about 600 pounds of Ford iron slid toward the cab and hit the box's bulkhead. Shoved it forward so hard that it dented the cab. Missed the back window by about 1/4". My father never did forgive me for that....and to add insult to injury, when I disassembled the engine I found a piston turned sideways in the bore. It was a good thing I got the engine for free, but with the damage to the truck it was still one expensive piece of s iron... Quote Selected
