Re: Telling the diff between AMC 2.5 and Iron Duke

["Jim Blair" <carnuck@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

A: I don't think it's quite that much, but I can carry the 2.5L engine sans 
external extras, but can barely carry a complete 4.0L block (I tip the 
scales at nearly 300lbs myself and I'm 6' tall but they grew us strong back 
on the farm 45 years ago)

afaik the 4.0 weighs about the same as most other 199/232/258, which
is also in the ballpark for the 196 - so the 2.5 has to be 100-150 lbs
lighter, give or take.
