Is that a bathroom scale???

Yeah, it’s a bit of a porker. I’m not even sure that bare big blocks weigh over 200lbs. Stock 340 blocks with caps generally weigh around 165-170lbs.

Are you going to use a motor plate? That would certainly aid in getting the extra weight off the front.

I’m sure you’re aware but there are shops out there that have block lightening programs. Not cheap but the possibility exists if you chose to go that route. Probably not remotely necessary for a street car.

Make enough power and it won’t matter how heavy the block is.
