    I will not lift it alone don't worry!!

    I do not have the block at my place, but when I get it, I will check the VIN.  I believe the date code on it is 69.

    Jason, son Jim and I just tossed one in and out of my Escape with no problem. Too heavy for one unless you're a large lad! Good luck! Ian
