I don't know yet Chas. The block I have is a Ford Racing 5.0 block. It's a large bore with siamesed cylinders, so I don't know where it is on the food chain. The weight will depend on a lot of other things....the 4V heads with 4 cams and all associated hardware are pretty heavy. If you went with an aluminum modular block, they usually ship by UPS ground as they weigh about 80 lbs.

I will have a number for you soon on the all aluminum 8.200" deck engine. I'm doing an engine for Cliff Rosson that's a 331ci engine, based on an aluminum Dart block, TFS heads, and a Weber setup. I can stand the block up on its bellhousing side, and pick it up off the ground with one finger in the cam tunnel.
