Those two examples do seem backwards, since you'd think the Hemi heads add more weight.

Yeah, that 360 Crank is about 25 lbs. heavier than a 318 crank.

My Bro Slugger, and his Brother Tugboat, when they were younger, both Ford Men, lifted a fully dressed small block, cast iron intake and exhaust manifolds, on the back of a full size truck....with a 4x4 and a chain

Maybe the weights in the table were also fully dressed? A generator weighs more than an alternator, etc.
That is part of the answer.

I make the same claim. MANY YEARS AGO!!!!!

Don't forget the rods are longer in the 360 compare to the other LA motors, also the bores are smaller in the 360's which would add a little weight. The cranks should be an off-set of somewhat, though the balancers and weights on the TQ converters are heavier on the 360.

Really! In 35+ years of tearing these things apart and every book I have come across, rods are longer, do tell!

Are you kidding me? The amount of weight difference in cylinder bore thickness is splitting hairs and… AND you need a sonic checker to verify that distinction for which you’ll find that varies in a block to block and CID scenario. Claiming this is an insanity.
Really? Weights on the torque converter?!

I was selling several fully assembled factory VW TDI turbo diesels, they were complete on the factory install skid. This guy arrives and he's huge like a WWE wrestler. Buys one and I tell him I'll get the hoist, he says no worry and walks over picks up the engine assembly carries it out of the garage and said just open the tailgate.
