" From: Jesse <j2sax@xxxxxxxxx> " " " " A dressed out 401 with accessories, trq cnvrtr, full " pallet and manifolds is over 700 lbs, over 500 with " intake only. I know the Buicks are beefy also. actually buicks are fairly light - for their size. buick had gm's lightest 350, not surprising considering it started from the little 215. [i've long thought they settled on a 3.85" stroke cause that's the longest that would clear the cam] the 430/455 was also fairly light for a big block. ________________________________________________________________________ Andrew Hay the genius nature internet rambler is to see what all have seen adh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and think what none thought
