or the block anyway?
i helped my friend move his dissassembled 7m-gte, and ended up carrying the block upstairs. i was just wondering if anyone happens to know the weight of it?

thx

to dam heavy :shock:

I carried my 5m block by myself. I think they weigh close to the same. Maybe between 150-200lbs

its not that its impossibly heavy, or really all that hard to carry. it is sharp though. i have some nice dents in my wrists to prove it too. im just curious as to how much i was carrying, the frist post may have sounded a bit like a little kid, but i was still a bit hyper.
the reason im so curious as to how much it weighs, is im just wondering what kind of numbers i can throw at people.
im about 5'9, 140, and build like a toothpick, some assume i am expremely weak, and i would like to be able to set them back a bit in their thinking.

my friend seems to think the block is well into the 200s, and it felt like a lot more than 150

thanks again

completely unassembled bare block? or did it have anything on it?

 

[dogstar]

the bare block is around 140ish, i think, and with pistons and crank and such, closer to 160-180ish.

pure guesses, but semi educated.

the pistons are really heavy, as are the con rods and the crank. I'd say that those bring it to 240 ish.

The crank alone is ~45lbs

bare block, nothing in it, nothing attatched
maybe i should just go weigh it

I think you should weigh it, if you still have it unassembled and available. Let us know what you find.

the block is probably going to be availiable for the next few monthes, i just have to find a scale.
