Thanks guys, yeah Casey I was thinking at least that, the shipping weight on my 572 with aluminum heads was 900 and some change (can't find my invoice) seems heavy but its a Merlin block and they are beefy, I’m having ORD build a set of custom 6” springs for the weight of the big block, I suppose the only thing they need to know is the exact weight of the new motor but I was curious how close the 2 motors are in weight…
