Had I not opted for the original boat anchor of a starter motor, I think I could have matched the weight of a small block. That starter motor paid me back though when it let me drive the car up on to a flat bed using nothing but the starter motor to power the car. This was after the clutch linkage came apart and I was out in the middle of nowhere.
