Hi! As I recall it's around 160lbs bare.
What other stuff is still on it?

 

[trudysduster]

its bare. I just need an approx. weight for shipping quote.

 

[cudavert]

And the intakes weigh a 1/3 of that.....LOL

 

[trudysduster]

its bare. I just need an approx. weight for shipping quote.

Why not put it on a bathroom scale???

 

[AlV]

hahahah, IF you use the bathroom scale weigh yourself first, then jump on with the block cradled gently in your arms. :happy1:

 

[trudysduster]

I would just love to see that one.

 

[johnnycuda]

340 pounds is my guess

 

[Darter6]

OK , just weighed in,with main caps and bolts 177 lbs.+or- 2 lbs. This block is bored .030.

I was sitting here, going why in the hell does this guy need to know the weight of a bare block? Im like man this racing stuff gets serious. Never thought about having to ship and get a quote hahahah

 

[trudysduster]

well, did all this and send a shipping quote to a guy and then wound up selling the block to a member here that is going to pick it up in 3 weeks. at least I know approximately what a bare 340 block weighs. learn something every day.huh
