How much does a standard 350 chevy weigh?
also how much does a Big Block engine weigh?
Both would be complete engines...carb to pan.

BB;
The actual weights can vary all over the place depending on intake, exhaust & ect... But, as a general rule the BB will outweight it's SB brother by @150~200lbs.(@70~90kg) if you'rein Canada:) )
BB = 675~(low)700's
SB = 550~590's
Fully dressed MarkIV's outweight Gen.V's by @25~30lbs in stock forms - The later vesions of the SB have gone on similar diets and can weight 25~30lbs less than earlier versions.
Hope this helps :beers:

How 'bout the inline 6??
I think it weighs almost as much as a small block with iron heads, doesn't it?

Which is why the old "Stovebolts" make such great 'Boat Anchors' :waving:
Depending on the older L6, they weight as much if not more than even a BB!
The "Turbo-Thrift" 235 and 250ci-L6's used in the Camaro however are actually lighter than a V8 by @60~100lbs in most cases.
Just to give you some reference, here are some from my data collection.
(note: these were numbers recorded for "marine application", which normally include all external components also. A street engine can weight 5~10% less in some cases due to lighter manifolds & etc.)
Engine --- Type - Displacement - Weight(lbs);
Sprint ----L4 ---- 933cc ---------147
Iron Duke-L4-----1.8~2.0L-------302
Vega------L4------140ci----------285
ChevyII---L4-----153ci-----------348
Corvair -- Flat 6--140~164ci-----295
TurboThrift-L6----194~250ci-----440
Stovebolt--L6-----216~235ci-----620
HD/truck---L6----292ci-----------680
90deg-----V6----229ci/4.3L------425
60deg-----V6----2.8~3.1L--------360
SBC-------V8----283~400ci------575
LT5--------V8----5.7L DOHC------600
"W"-------V8----248~409ci-------655
MarkIV---V8----366*~454ci------685
GenV-----V8----366*~502ci------675
GenVI----V8----454~502ci-------670
ZL-1------V8----427ci Alum.------570
Allison---V12---1,710ci(+)------1200**
*= 'Tall Deck' blocks @45lbs heavier
**=Just for comparison - 1400+HP :D
Hope some of this is interesting ;)
