weight of big block chevy?
Does anyone know how much a big block weighs.
I am having one shipped to me and I need to know for the freight co. The engine I am having shipped has everything except carb, dist.,headers, and waterpump. Oh and does anyone on here own a trucking co. or know of a good one that I can use? |

Thanks kwmech, I was guessing 6-700 lbs it does have aluminum heads and intake so I should be safe with saying 700 lbs.

Drop 100 pounds for the intake and heads. Save yourself some dough, the frt line will weigh your item if they think it is off by much and charge you the differance, but they won't give it back for overages
