    Got one sitting in the garage right now. Not taking it off to weigh it...but can give you some dimensions.

    Here ya go:

    Intake: 24" long x 7" wide x 4" high
    Exhaust: 15" long x 7" wide x 7" high (times two since they are split)
    Air Cleaner: 20" long x 12" wide x 8" high

    Total dimensions with everything assembled on the car. Taken from exhaust outlet to top of the air cleaner:

    30" wide x 12" wide x 18" high

    Hope that is what you were looking for. It is all cast iron, so weighs quite a bit. This is my shop now waiting for me to fix some linkage problems.

    The length and weight will depend on which engine the manifold fits. Special/super are smaller than Roadmaster by several inches.
