    Does anyone have a rough idea what a 8ba flathead block weights? Just the block.

    HEAVY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.........I can guesstamate that it is pushing between 150-200 lbs.
     
  3. George McNicholls' book "How to build Ford Flathead V-8 Horsepower" says that a 59-AB block weighs 190 pounds. I'd say the 8ba could be less because of the lack of integral bellhousing, but probably not by that much.

    I'm guessing no more than 150 lbs since I can lift one by myself
