manifold weight

does anybody know the weight of a 268 straight 8 pontiac intake/exhaust manifold?
need it for a shipping quote

 

Twelve thousand heffaweasels

 

If you have the manifold and a bathroom scale, weigh yourself with and without the manifold in your hands. The difference is the weight of the manifold.

 

Aren't they heffalumps and woozels?

 

No, those are metric.

 

I take it you are having it shipped to you? Or you don't have it off the engine yet if you are selling it and shipping it?

 

ï can buy one in the usa , and it needs to be shipped to me indeed ,
my own manifold is still on the car and it is cracked , still drivable but i don`t know what will happen if i take it off to put it on a scale

 

I'd take it off to see if it can be fixed locally. Cast iron welding ain't magic plus it's got to be a helluva lot cheaper that shipping something like that over the water.

Plus, if it can't be welded, you can at least get the weight.

Why couldn't the guy selling it give you an answer? A guy selling a part but couldn't give you weight and dimensions reeks of SCAM!!

 

Well, since the OP is in Europe, wouldn't metric be the way to go?

 

This is MURICA!!! Ain't using no Commie measurement system!!

 

not Commie that would be rUskins , its so******t from the cheese eaters ( and don't mean the guys from Wisconsin either )

 

That is pretty well what I figured. Unless someone just shipped one or has one laying around that they can weigh it might be difficult to come up with a weight.

 

the other one is also still on the car , i was hoping someone had one on the shelf and could give me the weight
i think it is beyond welding , the cast iron is falling apart on the corners where the studs are
