Anybody know the weight of a BBc Cast Iron GM head?? i need it to try and figure out shipping costs.

Thanks

Matt

Matt,
They are about 75 lbs bare. I would add at least another 10lbs if they are complete heads.

BillK, is that 75 pounds each bare??? Or is that for both heads? I knew they were heavy.

Thanks<

Matt

Each. I shipped bare 396 heads thru UPS. They were right at 70 lbs/box.

Matt,
That is for each head. When UPS used to have a 75 lb maximum, an assembled head would not make it.

save your back,and ship them Each!

This is what I do look at AND it works for me!!

Since I have a 50mpg corn-popper, I look at whether the freight costs saved vs the gas cost driving over to get something is less then the sales taxes they charge if I buy it over the counter!!

And I don't count my time b/c THIS IS A HOBBY ISN'T IT!!!!! And I just either use my vacation or FLEX time.

Plus driving is an "enjoyment" to me...

PS., and don't drop one a them heavy suckers on your foot or you may never walk right again!!!!

Thanks for all the information. I am selling a fresh set of 781 casting BBC heads with new 2.19/1.88 valves. The potential buyer was interested in shipping costs and i had no idea of the weight of each head.
