Really! My 4.530 mega block weighs 330 pounds. The indy block weighs 130 pounds. a stock block weighs 230 pounds.

Sooo my Indy block is 200 pounds lighter than a mega block. And probably about the same for this new muscle motors block....

I weighed my Mopar Mega-Block last year as I was contemplating an aluminum block. It weighed 270 lbs. 4.500 bore, motor mounts trimmed. Indy states 133lbs for 137 lb weight saving.
