Fellow Car Nuts:
We just received a complete, aluminum 427 engine with a top-loader transmission…so, I WEIGHED IT! I figured you all would like to know.
663 pounds
complete, running 427 engine and transmission combination
Shelby aluminum engine block
Edelbrock heads
Edelbrock performer rpm intake manifold
coil
iron top loader 4 speed transmission
transmission shift linkage
aluminum flywheel
clutch and pressure plate

Holley 850 Carburetor

Aviad

Harmonic balancer
An iron top loader transmission is 93 pounds and the shift linkage is 7 pounds for 100 pounds of that weight. The bell housing, flywheel, and clutch assembly must weigh close to 100 pounds as well…I need to weigh an assembly to really find out. So, a complete aluminum 427 must weigh close to 463 pounds. I will get an exact number and post it as soon as possible.
Just thought you’d all like to know.
