Just curious if you guys have ever weighed your BB race motors..Just curious what you have seen for weights. I will refrain from posting mine til after I see some of the others out there. Mine is a KB aluminum low deck block with B1 heads. I did weight my old World Hemi block and it was 308 especially after weighing the current engine.

My college buddy was a SB guy and referred to the RB motors as "Road Blocks" because they are so fricken heavy (and that was before aftermarket blocks). Don't have a scale capable of weighing one. Will be interested in the reponses.

what was on it when you weighed it Al (intake, carb, oiling system, cam drive, steel/aluminum rods, etc.)? i'm curious as i'm building a similar setup but a raised deck. the b1 heads are no lightweight for aluminum heads there's a lot of material there

I never have weighed the whole package, but the crank is 70 lbs, the machined 4.500 mega block came in at 250 lbs, and the injection is light. Terminator is about 1/4 the weight of a dominator. Rods, 910 grams.
8..603 156 mph best, 2905 lbs 549, indy 572-13, alky

not when you add in all the other parts needed to perform the same task. Ie, dist. block, lines and nozzles, leanout valves, etc.
Don't really know what my alum. head bbc's weight but on oak pallet with plywood sides and top, engine cradle carb to pan with trigger, vac pump, etc. topped 800# shipping weight.
