View Full Version : 69 396 MOTOR WEIGHT? Ejam 03-28-2007, 11:56 AM Does anyone know how much a 396 big block weighs? thanks jonnyNITRO 03-28-2007, 01:24 PM Are you talking about the whole motor w/heads and all or just the empty block. Because I'd say the heads alone are about 80lbs/ea. But, for an empty block... probably around 400lbs. I'm guessing of course. RatMotor 03-28-2007, 06:20 PM The same as a 402 bigblock....:D About 650+ lbs with iron heads. I knew the answer off the top of my head but a quick web search would have yielded you quicker results. RM Blade 03-28-2007, 08:32 PM rat has it very close to 700 pounds Ejam 03-29-2007, 05:58 AM thanks...I am buying a 69 ss 396 and the original motor is on the guys garage floor. Hewas smart enough to build a separate motor and keep the original.
