Does anyone know how much a stock 350 block crank rods and pistons weighs? No heads or intak(obviously) are on it. I'm just wondering if 2 normal sized guys can pick one up and put it in a truck bed?

 

Ive transfered a 350 block into the trunk of a Lumina before with the help of another person. That included the block, crank, rods, pistons, cam, roller lifter setup, timing gears, and timing cover. It can be done.

 

Don't know, but I know you guys should be able to do it. I can pick up and move an empty block myself and by far am not a big guy. I've pulled a full engine with only two other guys once (with some rope and a 4x4), but that was an emergency and a biatch!

 

Stek, did you get one of those damn 'RB Special' keyboards?!?

 

Maaaaaaybe...

 

if its you and another guy if your even in any kind of shape ..lol...you will not have a problem lifting it into a car or truck or anything for that matter..lol..just remember to lift with your knees not your BACK ...lol.....i should know im going in for a spinal fusion on thursday and not looking forward to it ...so be carfull and if you can have a third person there to help

 

Me and a friend carried a 350(complete pan to carb, iron heads, iron intake) off of a hoist, about 20 feet over to an engine stand.

Headers make good handles.

They are heavy, but managable, just lift with your legs, not your back. No need to throw your back out over it.

 

exactly

 

cool thanks

 

I think a SBC complete is about 500lbs, remove 100 or so for the heads, another 30-40 for manifolds another 10 or so for the intake, you're still left with about 350lbs or so.

 

yeah thats about right id say get about 3 guys and you wont have a problem
