Maybe one of those big ass UPS freight trucks could do it? Anyway, I read in MM&FF that 351 BLOCKS are roughly 100lbs more than a 302 block. Add in the crank, pistons, rods and whatever else you have on the block at the moment and there you go. However, I don't know the dry weight of a 302 shortblock! But Eric... Don't you have something at your shop that could weigh that thing????? -------------------- "Men are Made, Not Born" Car Picture : http://www.angelfire.com/theforce/quick88lx/ Original Member #495.

I would say about 260 pounds. Posts: 257 | From: All over | Registered: Jun 2002  |  : Quick 88LX ¯ Member # 1950 posted                                 Awww...
