RE: 69 396 MOTOR WEIGHT?

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.

The same as a 402 bigblock....

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.

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. His dad bought the car brand new
