Engine weights
 
Does anyone know what the weight difference between a complete, not filled, big block and a small block engine?

Also, how about a turbo 350 and a metric trans?

Thank you in advance.

I think the engine weights are about 100 or so pounds different, a small block weighs about 585 fully dressed, and a big block about 100 pounds or so more.

Hard Block doesn't weigh much more than the water it displaces.

I think a 200 Metric is about 25 pounds lighter than a 350. That's stock weight. You can go to TCI and they have a list of what the drums weigh, cast iron vs. aluminum.

That's all going on memory, I have not weighed the stuff recently.

Last year I placed a 350 with an aluminum front drum and a 200 with steel drums on a bathroom scale.

The difference was 30 pounds.

Of course, my bathroom scale tends to exaggerate.

Funny, my wife says the same thing. And no, she does not read this forum.:D

When I replaced the 302 in my Camaro (way back in '84) with the 396, the difference was 180 lbs.
