Hard to belive a 250 is neary 200 lbs lighter than a 235?!?!

How much does the 292 weigh?

[blkcorvair]

Couldnt find the 292 on any list.

My 250 was light enuf to chain hoist from my garage cieling back on the chassis without bringing down the house. Thats what I was worried about!

[NobleSix]

i dont remember where exactly i read it but a 292 is in the ballpark of 650-700 lbs, or so ive been led to understand, or more, depending on what all is on it.

[soxplayer]

250 is 24% lighter than a 235 according to GM in their advertising.

I bought a used complete 235 for my '56 a long time ago. I must have been about 16. Me and my dumb teenaged buddies went over there and picked it up by hand, and somehow stuffed it in the back of a Ford Country Squire station wagon. I remember thinking that thing was crazy heavy. Amazing none of us lost any fingers or toes.

[blkcorvair]

The 250 was light enuf to hang from the garage ceiling. That was my fear on the weight. Clsoer to 600 lbs I might have thought twice.

[stovboltguy]

the paper work i have from gm says the 230/250 are465lb and the 292 are561lb

[QUOTE=blkcorvair;5023877]Couldnt find the 292 on any list.

Here's one even dumber: about 20 years ago I picked up a long block 327, twice, by myself. I thought if you were strong enough to do it, do it, wrong! I later found out that was way too much weight for a guy 5'7" and 150 lbs. soaking wet.
