 AB> A chart found somewhere on the net long ago;

 AB> cadillac v16     1300  (yr:1913)
Why am I not surprised??!  :)
 AB> 194-250 l6       630
 AB> small block v8   575
Yeah, I guess a 6 would be heavier than an 8, wouldn't it?  I never
really thought about that, but when you consider the V engine has a
common lower end that'll only weigh what a 4 banger would, it makes
sense.
 AB> bent 6           475
Not a Cry-sler fan are we?  How about this, then:
  M ostly
  O ld
  P arts
  A nd
  R ust
 AB> 429/460          640   Here it is. She's a light one!
Ok, my apologies.  I seem to have been totally misled.  Maybe he was
talking about engine + van, or something like that.  :)
Thanks for the info.  I'll have to let my brother know.
