Hi 06,

Well............that's a tough one. The ONLY info I found on the subject was on this site;

http://www.hotrodreference.com/893/comm ... son-chart/

On another site someone mentioned that a 230 long block was about 400 lbs. So 600 lbs for a complete engine is believeable, if it includes everything.

That's about as good as I can do.

later,
bob

Thanks, that helps. I'm in the process of putting in a 5.7 hemi in mine-which weighs 485#, so springs should be happy.
