Google is your friend.

Chevy small block V8 575
(generic for '60s-'70s motors)

 

heavy enough to keep a 26' boat from drifting away....if properly chained and laying on the bottom of the lake

 

Here's a list I saved off to my site since links have a tendency to change or disappear.

I'm thinking about 500 lbs

 

Ive got one in the garage and I just tried to pick it up. Is there a formula for nut size to pounds Ow
Dave

 

my formula is, if I bust a nut it's over 200 lbs

 

Lighter than a Lincoln 337.

 

which is heavier, a pound of lead or a pound of feathers?

 

Well the feathers won't fill a dent or a body seam, so I know which one's more useful.

I've used that site twice today!

 

Know of a site with good drawings showing dimensions of various engines/trans.? CAD would be nice.

 

The site I posted has dimensions down the page under the weights but no drawings

 

and when I need engine weights I dig up a May 1965 (or so) Rod & Custom that's put up here somewhere... (I remember a green cover with a bunch of VW's on it) -

 

Hey, that rhymes "how heavy is a small block chevy"...

poet, didn't know it.

I'll shut up.

 

527 lbs off the top of my head

 

Bore it out to make it lighter....

 

my thingy says 575 lbs but it doesnt say with trans or options go figure..im guessing all cast iron
