How much does a 327 Chevy V8 engine weigh?

Mar 10, 2009 by David H | Posted in Chevrolet

I will be taking the 327 cubic inch V8 engine out of a 1968 Chevrolet C10 pickup and rebuilding it. I need to know if it weighs more than 750 pounds so that I can get the cheapest engine hoist and stand that will lift and hold the weight of this engine.

All of the gen 1 small blocks from 1955 up weighs in at 575 lbs with iron intake and heads.

Alum. intake drops weight to about 540 lbs, alum heads drops weight to about 500 lbs, mini starter installed drops it down to 490-492 lbs
