Well, a sbc weighs about 575 complete, so maybe 450?

No Denny, I might be wrong, but that 575 weight is for a complete engine. If you take of everything but the block and heads it should be about 125 lighter (a guess). I order the replacement long blocks at work for marine repowers, and on a pallet the long block comes in at 525, including the pallet and crate.
The website is a little confusing because he includes both complete and longblocks in the chart, but doesn't really specify which is which.

A long block is a short block with heads installed. No intake, carb, exhaust manifolds, distributor, pulleys, accessories, flywheel or flexplate, etc. A short block is the block with crank , pistons, rods, cam, timing chain, oil pump and maybe a pan
There is no denying you really know your stuff, and I think you and I are saying the same thing, only calling it a different name? But in all things mechanical, I always defer to your opinion, because I have come to respect it.

Yeah, I knew that you and I were coming from pretty much the same place, and like I said, your knowledge is always impressive.

Changed the shocks yesterday to OEM spec Monroe, they are still gas shocks. Disappointed that the ride is still very firm, it is not as bad but I was hoping for better. Might have something to do...
