I am trying to figure out the overall weight of an assembled small block engine with cast iron heads and an aluminum intake. I would also like to include an estimated weight for an automatic trans as well. This doesn't have to be extremely accurate, but within a hundred pounds or so.. Any takers?

Well I found a websites that lists engine weights:

http://www.team.net/sol/tech/engine.html

Th350 weighs 120 pounds or so (from another forum)
4l80e weighs 178 pounds

My guess would be 700+ pounds.

When I was young and much stupid, I unloaded a 327 block from the bed of my '65 and carried it about 8 feet before setting it down. Don't want to do that again......there must be a "correct" way to carry a block that I never learned and won't ever try again....Since my driveway was uphill, the tailgate as about 5 feet in the air when I grabbed that block.
