    I just did a junk one as "Yard Art" it had the ****** attached. Damm thing must weigh at least 500 lbs. it took 4 teenage boys to lift it off of the cart and into place and they were all struggeling. These same boy's had no trouble lifting my sbc and ****** from my 62 vette off of a cart and into the bed of a pickup truck. They said that the damm thing can stay right where it is, they ain't gonna touch it again.

    Without trans, not much at all...
    I once helped install a 60 into a Henry J (!) without a hoist. Two scrawny 14 year olds, one average size man, and pickitup and heaveho. When you think how much lifting ability is reduced by leaning over frame rails and tires, and the amount of steam expended wiggling the thing around until it was in the right place, they are real fly weights.
