Weight of SBC Shortblock

Anyone know the weight of a SBC shortblock?

Would like to get my old block in the basement and disassemble.........to evaluate what happened and possibly build a stroker in my free time...

Two guys, one dolly. Going down is not to bad......Just make sure you secure the engine to the two wheeler .......coming up it may be a 3 man job. Depending on how far you build the engine.

Thanks..........I already did this with an IL6 a few years back...........wasn't too easy.........just wondering how much heavier the SBC would be than the IL6..........and your right, going up was MUCH harder than going down.........

About 535 pounds naked (no accessories or exhaust manifolds).

Is that 535 for a shortblock?

I just want to move a shortblock........w/o heads, intake........only has crang/pistons/cam installed.

Thats a long block. Heads, intake, balancer, and starter installed. No exhaust manifolds. If you remove the heads, pan, and crank, you can carry the rest of the block (at least I could -- when I was a tad younger).

i doubt i could carry it myself............steps are kinda steep........had a hard time getting the IL^ down the stairs with a hand-truck.
