    Wanna find out the weight of the 18r, because im thinking of swapping in an all aluminum buick 215 v8. They weigh about 300 pounds, so i wanted to see what the 18r weighed in comparison.

    They're supposed to be heavy but I'm not sure how heavy, as I just lifted my block (with rods, crank, pistons, chain, etc) from the floor onto two chairs. It wasn't easy, but I didn't kill myself either and I'm not a big bloke.
